Pineapple Sage


Pineapple Sage

Brilliant scarlet blooms and sweet pineapple scented leaves
make this one of my favorite herbs.

  1. This is the second blog that I've seen this kind of sage on, so I'm going to take it as a sign that I need to get some! I love red flowers!

  3. I am familiar with a sage plant which has the soft green leaf, but no scarlet flower. This is lovely . . .

  4. Very pretty. I have Russian sage and ordinary run-of-the-mill sage that grows everywhere on the island - I love the smell of it!

  5. You know I haven't planted it for a couple years but it is such a predictable plant and has the most beautiful bright red. Not to mention the smell...On my list next year...smiles...Renee

  6. I'm only familiar with garden sage with purple blooms and one I grow in the flower bed with blue blooms, which stinks! This is certainly pretty!

  12. A few hours ago I was out looking at my sage and thinking how healthy it looked (and thinking of Thanksgiving). My kind of sage has pretty purple flowers right now.

  20. Oh my gosh! That is gorgeous and I've not ever seen it before. Sage is one of my favorite plants/herbs. We live in a semi-arid climate and when it gets really hot the wild sage smells so aromatic...healing, ya know?
