I have a couple red salvias that I do not know the name of. I believe the tag had said they were annuals. While the original from a couple years ago died, there have been some new ones crop up. The oldest is in a clay pot now and it started 2 new ones, including the one in the foreground below and one that just moved in on and on top of a newly planted 'sun' gardenia. So far these red 'annuals' have survived the down to 23 degree weather around Thanksgiving week!
