What are some uses for pineapple sage?

People can use the red flowers of pineapple sage in salads containing romaine lettuce, spinach or other green vegetables. They can also use the leaves of pineapple sage in cocktails and herbal teas.

The best time to plant pineapple sage is in the spring. Gardeners should leave 24 to 36 inches of space between any two pineapple sage plants. This helps each plant receive the sunlight it needs. The plants mainly require water the first 14 days after planting. The only time they may need water later on is when a drought occurs. The red flowers do not blossom until late summer or early autumn.
