Pineapple sage is not hardy here in zone 5 (6?), but it is one of my favorite 
 plants.  The only complaint I have with it is that it blooms so late that it 
sometimes gets frost-bitten before it has bloomed.  This year I planted one 
in a big pot, hoping to keep it over the winter, but the strong winds blew it 
over and pretty much demolished it.  In past years I have rooted cuttings that 
did well for a while, but it has always succumbed to red spider before the 
winter was over.  Anyway it remains a must-have each spring.  Auralie
