Gardeners add the uniquely flavored leaves and flowers of Pineapple Sage, an herbaceous perennial, to a variety of dishes including; poultry, pork, marinades, sugars and teas. It provides a lovely fragrance and flavor to a dish, especially when leaves are sautéed before adding. The flowers make a beautiful garnish and attracts hummingbirds. Pineapple-scented leaves and rich red blooms in late summer. Great for vases and containers. Water regularly for the first few weeks after planting, then only water during a dry spell. Good drainage is essential during the growing season. Harvest leaves and flowers once they are large enough to use, or leave them to attract pollinators.

Named for the uncanny pineapple scent of its foliage, pineapple sage is worth the wait. It is a seasonal treat that gives gardeners a sense of anticipation. A small plant set out in spring after the danger of frost has passed will grow into a branching plant 3 to 4 feet tall and nearly as wide by the time it blooms. It will then sprout spires of cardinal-red blooms in late summer and fall, just in time to refuel hummingbirds and butterflies for their fall migration. If you live in an area that does not freeze, blooms will continue all winter and sometimes all year.
