Plant of the month: Salvia elegans
Pineapple Sage is one of those plants that really earns its place in the garden. Its soft, lime green leaves smell just like fresh pineapple and are edible. And in autumn, it bursts into bloom with brilliant scarlet-red flowers that insects and birds love.
Plant of the Month: Pelargonium sidoides
The African Geranium is a wonderful low-maintenance plant that offers year-round foliage interest with a pop of jewel-toned colour.
