What kind of salvia is this?

Found this at a local nursery, no label, but they said it's a salvia. I think so, too, though it doesn't have any salvia smell.

Looks like Salvia 'Wendy's Wish'. Not all salvias have any sort of sagey aroma. But the tubular flowers and brownish calyxes are very characteristic of a salvia. Squared stems would be another indication.

Yes, that sure looks like it! Thanks, I like salvias, and may get another one.

Wendy's wish is very easy to root from cuttings.
