Salvia elegans / Perennial

This sage really does have a fabulous pineapple scent! It grows into a large (4 x 4′) semi-woody shrub with light green velvety leaves. In the late summer and fall, it is covered with brilliant red flowers that attract hummingbirds. Grow it in full sun in well-drained soil; periodically pinch back to keep growth bushy and fresh. Use leaves and flowers to garnish or flavor drinks, fruit salads, jams and jellies.
