I'm challenging myself to take cuttings every day until.......................I forget.
Today's Herb is Pineapple Sage - Salvia Elegans aka Salvia Rutilans. I love the smell of the leaves (its pineapple in case you can't guess) and the bright red flowers. Its hardy outdoors here and easy to grow from cuttings. The Flower photo was taken in November so its extra valuable to have flowers at that time of year.
I've taken cuttings of this year's side shoots; removed the lowest leaves and woody bit at the bottom of the stem and stuck them in a jar of water on the window sill.
Cuttings taken 15/8, roots 27/8 on 6 of the 12 cuttings.
I love this plant so much I might edge a path with it - it grows to 5-6' so nobody will see me as I wander through, sniffing leaves.
