Tliis is one of the most useful species among the numerous 
fine Salvias from Mexico for conservatory decoration. It flowers 
freely during the winter and early spring months, when its 
numerous crimson-scarlet blossoms are sure to excite attention. 
It thrives and flowers freely under warm greenhouse treatment, 
grown in a mixture of turfy loam enriched with well-decayed 
manure. It is easily propagated by cuttings. — W. W. S.
