About Salvia roemeriana Scheele
Salvia roemeriana, commonly called cedar sage, reaches up to 1 foot in both height and width. It establishes quickly and forms colonies via prolific reseeding. Its leaves are grassy green, and the whole plant dies back to the ground during winter. It produces abundant bright scarlet flowers that grow in loose whorls on 8 to 10 inch stalks held above the foliage; each individual plant produces many inflorescences. In the wild, this species grows primarily in limestone-rich soils, and is typically found growing in association with junipers, which are referred to as "cedars" in this context.
