Pineapple Sage

Propagate from 4–6 in softwood cuttings in late spring or early summer, which root readily in moist perlite within 2–3 weeks; plants started from cuttings establish more quickly and reliably than seed. Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun and water consistently during summer; pineapple sage is less drought-tolerant than culinary sage. In zones below 8, take cuttings before the first autumn frost and overwinter plants on a bright, frost-free windowsill. Harvest the pineapple-scented leaves throughout summer for fruit salads, drinks, and tea; the brilliant red flowers bloom in autumn and attract hummingbirds. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження живцюванням Відстань між рослинами: 24–36 дюймів Висота: 36–60 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–21 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–24°C
