Product Description:
Pineapple sage (Salvia elegans) is a delightful herb known for its sweet, pineapple-scented leaves and vibrant red flowers. Native to Mexico and Guatemala, it belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae) and is a favorite in herb gardens, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and ornamental borders. Pineapple sage grows up to 4–5 feet tall and 3 feet wide, with bright green, lance-shaped leaves and tubular scarlet flowers. Crushing the leaves releases a refreshing pineapple aroma. Flowers appear from late summer to fall, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. Both the leaves and flowers are edible and can be used in teas, salads, and desserts.

Growing Instructions:
Pineapple sage thrives in warm climates (USDA Zones 8–11) but can be grown as an annual in cooler regions. It prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade and grows best in well-drained, moist soil enriched with organic matter. Consistent moisture is essential, but the soil should never be waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture.
Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰
Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
