Product Details
'Ruffians' Pineapple Sage is a standout cultivar, prized for its dramatic stature, fragrant foliage, and spectacular floral display. As its name hints, it's a more vigorous, bold, and "ruffian" version of the common Pineapple Sage, growing significantly taller and fuller.
The plant forms a large, airy mound of lime-green, textured leaves that release a potent, sweet pineapple aroma when brushed or crushed. This makes it a delightful sensory addition to herb gardens, borders, or containers. However, its true glory is revealed in late summer when it erupts in a profusion of long, fiery scarlet-red tubular flowers. These blooms are not only visually stunning but are also a powerful magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, transforming the plant into a hub of late-season pollinator activity.
While it is a tender perennial in warm climates, its rapid growth and show-stopping performance make it well worth planting as an annual elsewhere. 'Ruffians' offers a bold, architectural presence in the garden, combining utility, fragrance, and exceptional wildlife value in one spectacular package.
