Plant of the Day
Thursday 1 November 2018

Still putting on a show till the first major frost is the tender perennial Salvia elegans (pineapple sage). When touched the foliage releases the fragrance of pineapple and the loose whorls of terminal flowers appear towards the end of summer. Sadly the plant will soon be cleared away for winter but cuttings will be rooted for next year’s display. This plant is a native of Mexico and Guatemala.
