Elsa, that is a photo of the right plant in the right place.

Salvia coccinea 'Coral Nnymph' (I like 'Forest Fire' red with dark calyces) is easy if you fill a pot with good potting soil, don't smooth it out, drop your seed and then water. Real easy to start in beds with just a handful of potting soil in a small hole using the above technique.

I use the white (Snow Nymph) in beds that I plant for folks.
