Sage Pineapple QT

Pineapple Sage makes a great herb for teas while offering plenty of ornamental value. Its foliage is a lighter vibrant green that contrasts nicely with the darker green foliage of other plants. Red, tubular flowers get pushed out later in the season when days become shorter. Hummingbirds love them, but by the time the flowers have emerged, the hummingbirds have sometimes already started in on their migration to Central America. In Zone 8, its a perennial that can reach 6'+ tall, but around the Midwest it's grown as an annual that usually reaches 2-3' tall and wide. Grows best in full sun and well drained soil. Hardy to Zone 8.
