Golden Delicious Pineapple Sage (Salvia elegans 'Golden Delicious')

Golden Delicious Pineapple Sage is grown for its bright, golden foliage that instantly lifts a planting and makes nearby colors look richer. It adds height and a full, leafy presence in beds and large containers, so designs feel more finished without extra filler plants. When the weather shifts toward fall, it often adds a bonus show of scarlet red flowers that draw hummingbirds and keep the garden active late in the season. Brush the leaves as you pass and you will notice the signature pineapple fragrance that makes this plant feel special up close.

Distinctive Features

This tender, shrubby sage forms an upright clump of softly hairy, aromatic foliage that emerges bright gold to chartreuse and can shift greener as it matures, especially in heat or shade. In late summer into fall, terminal spikes open with vivid scarlet red, tubular flowers that are especially attractive to hummingbirds. The overall look is bold but not stiff, with stems that branch and fill space quickly over the growing season. Mature size is typically about 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide in the ground, and often smaller in containers depending on season length and pruning.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade helpful in hotter climates to keep foliage looking its best.
  • Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil is ideal, and avoid persistently wet sites.
  • Water: Provide regular water to establish, then maintain moderate moisture, watering during prolonged heat and dry spells.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy in zones 8 to 11, and commonly grown as an annual outside that range.
  • Mature Size: About 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, with size influenced by pruning and container culture.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use one bold clump as a focal point where the golden foliage can brighten a key view all season and finish with red blooms in fall.
  • Mixed Borders: Place in the middle to back of beds to add height, contrast, and a lush seasonal backdrop.
  • Pollinator Plantings: Include for late-season hummingbird value when many nectar plants are slowing down.
  • Large Containers: Grow as a tall container accent that adds color and fragrance near patios and entries.
  • Herb and Sensory Gardens: Plant near paths where the pineapple-scented leaves can be enjoyed as you brush past.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pinching: Pinch or tip-prune early in the season to encourage branching and a fuller, sturdier plant.
  • Deadheading: Trim spent flower spikes to keep the plant tidy and encourage continued blooming.
  • Watering: Water deeply during heat and drought, especially in containers, to prevent stress and leaf drop.
  • Pruning: Cut back lightly as needed to maintain shape, and do harder pruning in spring where it overwinters.
  • Overwintering: In colder zones, grow in a container and move to a bright, protected space before hard frost.

Why Choose Golden Delicious Pineapple Sage?

  • High-Impact Foliage: Golden leaves add instant brightness and contrast that improves the look of nearby plantings.
  • Late-Season Flowers: Scarlet red blooms extend seasonal interest into late summer and fall.
  • Hummingbird Magnet: Tubular flowers are a reliable nectar source that pulls hummingbirds into the garden.
  • Fragrant Experience: Pineapple-scented foliage adds a sensory element that feels special near walkways.
  • Design Versatility: Works as a tall bed accent or a container centerpiece with simple, straightforward care.

If you want bright foliage, late-season color, and hummingbird activity in one easy plant, Golden Delicious Pineapple Sage is a strong choice. Give it sun, good drainage, and consistent moisture, then pinch early and trim as needed to keep it full and attractive. Used as a statement accent or repeated for rhythm, it brings a warm, lifted look that carries the garden into fall.

Almost perfect

Works ok, and no color to bleed onto sublimation surfaces. Not very sticky making for easy removal but sometimes a bit of a challenge to get to lay down.

I love these. I use them to wrap my tumbler before sublimating them in my sublimation oven. They work every well to let me see the process so I don’t scorch my design.

Best out of all other heat tapes!
Number of Items: 6
It is extremely weird how excited I became when trying this tape out for the first time. I can't speak for all of the blue heat tapes but this one in particular is all sorts of great to use. Thicker, easier to tear, stronger adhesive than the brown and clear heat tapes I've tried. I started with the clear because I was afraid of the other colored tapes leaving marks on my substrates. The clear tape was a good amount of thickness and easy to tear and use but the adhesion was terrible. I would wrap it around the rim of tumblers, fold it down into the inside of the tumbler and it would pop right back up. Forget using it on any fabrics, did not hold sublimation sheets down to totes, shirts, mousepads, at all. The brown tape I used had better adhesion but was thin and stretchy? floppy? Didn't know this was even an annoying thing until I moved on to this blue tape and was just blown away. Still blows me away how it was cheaper than the other two kind but is the thickest and best gripping of them all. So far it does not leave any marks on any of my items. I'm so impressed by this tape that I still NOTICE it everytime it's tearing off perfectly or holding my things together so well.
