pineapple sage

container, edible, fragrant, moist - dry, sun - part shade
Mexico

The handsome, bright green leaves of this upright, fast-growing sage exude a wonderful pineapple aroma when rubbed lightly. Bears showy spikes of long, tubular, scarlet flowers from mid-summer (outdoors) continuing into December (if moved indoors before hard frost). Pineapple sage is one of the last plants to bloom in the autumn and is a major attractant for late migratory ruby-throated hummingbirds, which are familiar with the plant from warmer climates. Also attractive to butterflies. For people, pineapple sage has a milder and fruitier taste than garden sage; dried, it has a more floral scent and flavor. It can be used in making teas, potpourri, cream cheeses, jams and jellies. Tough, easy to grow, and a delight to the senses, pineapple sage grows well in the ground or in containers. Note that this plant is not hardy.

e and cent US

This interesting native wildflower species is found naturally in woodland borders, thickets and meadows over much of the eastern and central U.S. The oval leaves are in compact basal rosettes. The modest, greenish flowers appear from May to July. Lyre-leaved sage prefers well-drained soil, and is considered drought-, flood- and humidity-tolerant. The leaves are said to be edible and to have a mild, minty flavor well-suited for use in salads or teas. The plant has also been used medicinally.
