Pink version of "Lady in Red" Salvia?

Rowlett, TX(Zone 8a)

I found this pink Salvia coccinea amongst a stand of Lady in Reds. Unlike the Coral Nymph, it has no white on the blooms. Does anyone know if there is a pink version of Lady in Red?

Yes, there is a pink version of Salvia coccinea it usually is not as vigorous as the red.

lol I found a salmon-colored one today that appeared out of nowhere with the red ones. I didn't have time to examine it super close, so I'm not positive what variety it is, but now I'm wondering if our freakish weather is making the plants change color...

Thanks Josephine. I can't imagine where it came from, but will definitely let it go to seed and hopefully will have more next summer. I do love pink.
