Pineapple sage is a very decorative aromatic plant, appreciated for its fragrant green foliage that releases a fruity, pineapple-like scent when crushed. Its generous habit and vibrant red blooms late in the season add a lot of color to pots, herb gardens, edible beds, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. It is perfect for adding an exotic, fragrant, and very bright touch to sunny spaces.

Easy to grow during the warm season, pineapple sage prefers a sunny to slightly semi-shady location, in fertile, fresh, and well-drained soil. It appreciates regular watering to maintain tender, aromatic, and pleasant foliage for harvesting, especially when grown in pots. As it is not very hardy in our climate, it is generally grown as an annual or brought indoors before the cold, in a very bright spot.

Very versatile, pineapple sage can be used to flavor infusions, iced teas, lemonades, desserts, fruit salads, light sauces, and summer recipes. Its red flowers are also very popular with hummingbirds and pollinators, making it a plant that is both gourmet, decorative, and ecological. It is an excellent herb for gardeners looking for an original, fragrant, and spectacular plant in containers or in the garden.
