Salvia Greggii

This plant just does not stop blooming! It's a must-have for sunny landscapes. The blooms attract hummingbirds and pollinators. There are many color options, but it seems that the red and pink perform best. I typically trim mine about 2-3 times a year to get the most out of the blooms. I know it's hard, but when the blooming slows down just bite the bullet and cut it down to about a foot. You'll end up with a fuller plant and way more blooms. If you don't want to miss the hummingbirds (and have multiple salvias), you can trim them at different times. That way at least one is always blooming. In the winter (February is good), trim them back to about 6 inches or so and remove any thick, older stems. Sometimes, a big chunk will pull right out of the ground. Don't worry. It's okay as long as others are left behind.
