Golden Pineapple Sage Live Plant | Salvia elegans 'Golden Delicious' | Fragrant Herb Starter Plant

Add brilliant foliage and tropical fragrance to your garden with Golden Pineapple Sage, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its vibrant golden-green leaves, sweet pineapple scent, and dazzling scarlet-red flowers. Salvia elegans 'Golden Delicious', commonly known as Golden Pineapple Sage, is a tender perennial herb that combines ornamental beauty with fragrant foliage. It is an excellent choice for herb gardens, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, patio containers, and edible landscapes. The aromatic leaves release a delightful pineapple fragrance when gently brushed or harvested and may be used to flavor teas, fruit salads, beverages, desserts, and garnishes. Its nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Golden Pineapple Sage thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-draining soil. Its bright golden foliage adds vibrant contrast throughout the growing season, while brilliant scarlet-red flowers typically bloom from late summer into fall, providing an important late-season nectar source for hummingbirds and pollinators. In cooler climates, it grows beautifully in containers and can be overwintered indoors.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Golden Pineapple Sage starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
