No flowers on my Pineapple sage, but I was pleased it came through the winter.

My Sage came through the winter outside, then I trod on it, so this is the broken off piece, rooted and resited away from my feet. Last year it flowered 18th November.

Yes, mine has grown lovely and big too. Its a great plant. I pointed it out to my London friend when we were down and she bought one for her garden. It will thrive on her sheltered south facing raised herb beds!
