Think it's Salvia hotlips. Usually, they're red and white but due to moisture and heat levels, flowers can be all red or all white. Mine is the same as the one above.

Salvia greggii cultivar, probably one called 'Royal Bumble'

I was going to suggest Salvia x 'Maraschino', but 'Hotlips is likely, too. If 'Hotlips', some of the branches will develop flowers with a white lower lip, and sometimes even pure white.

Well, if it is 'Hotlips', the new flowers will have some white on them, too.
