It looks like Red Salvia to me. Grown as an annual in zone 7

Taxonomy of Red Salvia:
Plant taxonomy classifies red salvia plants as Salvia splendens. Despite an official common name of "scarlet sage," many people refer to the plants simply as "red salvia," which is the usage I employ.
Plant Type for Red Salvia:
Indigenous to Brazil, where it is a perennial, red salvia flowers are known as annual plants in temperate zones: they are damaged by hard frosts and will not survive through cold winters.
