Overview

Salvia coccinea, the blood sage, scarlet sage, Texas sage, or tropical sage, is a herbaceous perennial in the family Lamiaceae that is widespread throughout the Southeastern United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. At one time Brazil was considered to be where it originated, but its diploid chromosome count now points to Mexico as its place of origin.
