Sage, Pineapple
Delicious scarlet-red flowers on 3' spikes form in the fall as the grand finale. Use fresh leaves or flowers in teas, fruit or chicken salads, white wine, and summer lemonade. Its flavor is more fruity than heavy sage. Plants grow large and enjoy being harvested, but pick lower leaves, which are more succulent, being protected from the sun. Stop pinching tips by August 1st to allow flowers to form.
