Re: Pineapple sage

Hi Bill,
I don't know the scientific name for pineapple sage, but here in my area,
zone 5, it is not winter hardy.  

I grew several plants from cuttings, which have only begun blooming
lately, too close to a freeze.  Next year I'll try to start some sooner.
I've got one in a pot which I brought into the house this morning.
I'll let the freeze take the others.
