'''''Salvia fulgens''''' ('''Cardinal sage''') is a perennial herb native to the Mexican mountains adjacent to the state of [[Puebla]], growing at 8,700-11,000 ft elevation. It prefers the clearings and edges of woodlands. The mountains receive fog and rain nearly year-round.

''Salvia fulgens'' grows 4-5 ft high and 3-4 ft wide, and requires a long warm autumn for full blooming. The 2 in flowers grow in loose whorls, and are fire engine red, reflecting the common name and the synonym ''S. cardinalis''. The upper lip has red hairs which glisten ("''fulgens''") in the morning dew. A reddish-brown calyx remains long after the flowers drop. Inflorescences are usually about 4 in long, though occasionally a 12 in inflorescence appears. The heart-shaped leaves are pale yellow-green, about 1.5 in long by 1 in wide, and cover the plant quite profusely.
