salvia coccinea is its official name. I bought a few of them for my larger planters last year. over the winter they reseeded themselves inside the planters and I wound up with a couple of dozen. I planted the extras in my flower garden. they grew nicely enough until the heat abated, then they bloomed and thrived like crazy. I have been enjoying them immensely.

Just beautiful. The hummingbirds will be loving you!
WOW .. and I am very impressed you got that red to be red .. its a tough color to capture true .. well done!
Perfect lady is a perfect choice for P day. It's perfectly delightful, too. Perfectly wonderful it reseeded and multiplied so you could move some to other areas, too.

What a beautiful plant - and how generous of it to reproduce so prolifically for you :-)
what a beautiful bush
They are a beautiful red color! I'm curious after reading KaHolly's comment. Have you ever seen any hummingbirds where you are? I've never seen them in Brooklyn.
What a very pretty plant! Love the clear, red flowers. I'm impressed they seeded themselves and grew so big!
