Botanical Name: Salvia elegans

Pineapple sage is an herbaceous perennial with scarlet red flowers, growing 1.2 to 1.5 meters. The ovate leaves are a grey-green colour, with some people describing them as having a yellow tinge. They are quite large at 5-10 cm and end in a point. The oppositely positioned leaves are covered in small hairs and distinctly veined. The leaves remain scented all year and crushing them releases the best scent.

The flowers are a distinct scarlet red colour and they grow in whorls of 6-12 flowers on inflorescences. The have a tubular appearance and are about 2.5 cm long, with two distinct lips. The lower positioned flowers open first and then the others gradually follow, over a long autumn blooming period. Pineapple sage is a short-day plant, which means it requires a longer period of darkness and flowers as the days grow shorter.

Pineapple sage develops a dense, rounded form and produces numerous leafy, erect stems and lateral branches that hold the striking red, flower spikes. As the season progresses the stem becomes woody and the roots extend deeper underground forming a large clump.

This sage is native to Mexico and Guatemala and is found growing naturally in the temperate, pine oak forests at 1800-2700 meters above sea level. It is a great butterfly and bird attractant, with studies indicating it is one of the local hummingbirds’ three most commonly visited plants.

Like all sages, pineapple sage is visually appealing and may be grown as a nice addition to the garden. However, it does also have some culinary applications and was used for traditional medicine by Mexicans. Salvias have a long history of being used for many medical conditions. The genus name ‘Salvia’ is derived from ‘salvere’, which is Latin for ‘to save’.

This sage may also be called Tangerine Sage in some areas and has been cultivated since 1870. There is also a variety of pineapple sage with purple tinged leaves. Another sage, called Honey Melon also has pineapple scented leaves, but it flowers in summer, instead of autumn.

The salvia family has over 900 members with an extensive history as culinary, medicinal and ornamental plants. Ornamental salvias have become collectors’ items, as gardeners try to find a place in their garden for each and every one. There are salvias that will suit every type of soil and climate. More information on the Salvia genus and Common Sage (Salvia officinalis) may be found on our Common Sage page.

Growing Conditions

Pineapple sage requires a well-drained soil, with a good nutrient base. If your soil is sandy, it may be suitable to add some organic matter. Pineapple sage does need regular watering and may wilt on hot days if this is lacking. Unlike some other herbs, it should recover once watered. As one of the taller herbs, pineapple sage can have a tendency for straggly branches and may benefit from staking and wind protection.

As a short day plant, it does well with at least six hours of light each day and flowers in autumn and the days grow shorter. However, in some areas the autumn days may be quite cool and the days may grow too cold to allow a long period of flowering. In areas with no frost, pineapple sage may flower for a longer period, particularly if it is well watered.

Pineapple sage is a plant that does well in temperate regions and it may be more compact in cooler areas. The plant may be treated as an annual in colder areas. It does tolerate frost to some extent, but may die down and return the following year. If your plant does this you may choose to simply cut it back to ground level when the season begins to change. Alternatively, you can bring the plant indoors or offer other protection over the cooler months so you can see what degree of cold temperatures is tolerated.

Propagation may be by cuttings which take root easily and will be ready for planting out in the warmer spring weather. Allow up to a meter or more between plants and fill the gaps with annuals until the plant grows bigger. The main plants can also be divided at a later date.

This aromatic sage does well as a garden backdrop and is well suited to container gardening, as long as a large container is chosen. Pineapple sage requires a lot of garden space and while waiting for it to grow, planting annual herbs or under-storey growth is a good way to fill empty ground. The soft grey-green foliage is ideally suited to contrasts with the deep purples of annuals like Dark Opal Basil. It also looks very nice with a planting of Creeping Thyme, which can remain in place as the pineapple sage grows taller.

Culinary Uses

Pineapple sage has a different flavour to common garden sage and it is not considered to be a culinary substitute for normal sage. It is best used fresh to preserve the flavour. Cooking at high temperatures will damage the leaves and the flavour will be lost. Despite this some people recommend using the chopped leaves in herb breads to impart a subtle flavour.

The leaves and flowers are both edible and may be used as part of salads or as garnishes. They are a nice addition to fruit salads as the crushed leaves will impart a pineapple aroma. They can also be used in cold soups, to garnish cool drinks and iced or herbal teas. An interesting idea is to mix chopped leaves with cream cheese for a tasty spread.

Medicinal Uses

Pineapple sage was used extensively in early traditional medicine by the Mexicans who found it growing in their environment. They found value in using it for anxiety and to treat high blood pressure. They also felt it had applications in assisting with depression.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!
