Salvia roemeriana, also known as cedar sage or 'dwarf crimson-flowered sage', is a perennial shrub that is native to the Edwards Plateau in Texas, parts of Arizona, and several states in Mexico. It was named after German geologist Ferdinand von Roemer, who lived in Texas in the mid-1800s and is known as the "father of Texas geology". The plant is commonly found in cedar brakes, oak woodlands, and rock outcroppings. It was introduced into horticulture in 1852 and was a favorite of renowned garden writer William Robinson. Cedar sage grows up to 1 foot in height and width and quickly forms colonies through reseeding. Its leaves are a grassy green color and the plant dies back in the winter. The flowers are bright scarlet and grow in loose whorls on tall stalks. This plant thrives in limestone-rich soils, often found near juniper trees.
