„Salvia elegans“ Pineapple Sage
„Bought a small organic seedling of pineapple sage in spring. It grew well and provided us with it’s leaves all year round. We used it on our fruit salads and for infused water. It really has that pineapple taste. Now it starts to flower and it‘s red blossoms look nice and are edible as well.“ Text and picture from me in November 2019 FB
