Edible Uses

The leaves and flowers are intensely aromatic, with a fragrance of mixed fruits. They are likened to a sweeter version of Pineapple Sage (Salvia elegans) and used as flavourings in salads, fruits salads, iced teas, fruit punches and salad dressings. The large leaves make for an easy harvest for drying and storage. They are used to make flavourful tea . The dried leaves retain the fragrance and also make very lovely wreaths and potpourri.
