A pleasant, pineapple scent and flavor arise from the leaves of this easy-to-grow herb. In late summer and fall, plants have long, bright-red, tubular flowers that hummingbirds cannot resist! Edible flowers make a nice addition to salads, or as a garnish. Sages prefer well-drained, moderately rich soil.
