'Golden Delicious' pineapple sage
Salvia elegans

'Golden Delicious' pineapple sage Great for containers or in the garden, the bright yellow-green foliage looks good all season and smells good, too. During the heat of summer in our test garden, the leaves greened up a bit, but they changed back when cooler weather arrived. And speaking of fall, that's when those bright-red hummingbird-magnet flowers appear, making this plant a real eye-popper.
