Published on by Lucas Pam3 Comments

A soft sturdy green vine

Deceiving plant names

A sage of a different name

Easy to grow…then use a fresh sprig of this fruit-scented pineapple sage to garnish your frosty piña colada or glass of iced tea.

Don’t eat the sweet potato vine!  Just enjoy its simple light green beauty.
