Pineapple Sage
Botanical Name: salvia elegans


Description:
While pineapple sage does have a pineappley fragrance, its only real use in cooking is as a fresh edible flower. The flowers are reminiscent of honeysuckle and make a colorful addition to salads, fruit cocktails or any garnish. Their vibrant red color complements many dishes particularly attractive with yellow or green bell peppers. Flowers can be sugared and used to garnish cakes or cookie platters. Great plant for attracting hummingbirds to the garden. Flower color: bright red. Tubular shape.
