My all time favorite perennial is Salvia microphylla. It comes as 'Lipstick' - all red and 'Hot Lips' - half red & half white. These wonderful bushy plants (roughly 3? by 3?) bloom from early spring until late fall. We've had a few frosts here in Virginia and mine are still blooming. Submitted by Patt
