However, as a 40 year+ herb grower in six differnt gardens (so it's not the soil!), I have yet to have a pineapple mint that tastes like pineapple, although in the spring the new foliage sometimes smells a little pineappley.... I will substitute some fresh, young tender leaves from the top of my pot of Pineapple Sage for the garnish, and should it be Sept., I can add a spray or maybe a few of the beautiful red florets, plucked from the spray, (that will be in better scale) of the Pineapple Sage. The young leaves taste more pineappley than the mature leaves. The chopped leaves are a nice addition to a pound cake, lemon squares, or in fruit cocktail. She's also, a pretty, but sometimes a little leggy-- so put her in the back row, addition to a collection of tender container-grown patio plants and hummingbirds love her early autumn scarlet blossoms. I'll post my Pineapple Sage Cake separately.
