Pineapple Sage Feeding Instructions
Feed in Spring and then on an as needed basis through late Summer. We generally recommend a slow-release granular flower food, higher in the middle number: this is phospherous, which helps to promote strong root systems, strong stems and plenty of flowers. Alternatively, you may use a natural or organic, non-burning plant food. Refer to product label for application rates and instruction.
Pineapple Sage Pruning Instructions
Spent flowers and/or stems can be deadheaded or sheared throughout the season to encourage new growth and/or flower buds. Dead foliage can be cut back to ground after plant goes dormant in winter.
Pineapple Sage Pest Instructions
This plant is generally not prone to serious pest or disease problems. In the event that a pest or disease problem occurs, treat with a product containing neem oil. Neem oil is a safe, triple-action product that can be used to control insects, mites and diseases.
