    Hello, I have this lovely plant in the garden and I wanted to propagate it, so I have several lovely plants, but I can't work out exactly what it is, red salvia but which one, I have got square eyes looking at pics and not finding one the same.
    Any help you be much appreciated IMG_20180827_135959.jpg IMG_20180827_135952.jpg

    Not an expert but looks like a really nice S. cardinalis.
