Interesting! I'll have to ask the local greenhouses about that!

Pineapple sage is a wonderful addition to iced tea. I just like to rub it when I am out in the garden and sniff. Ahhhhhh

My aunt has a greenhouse that I've been working at every Saturday in exchange for plants, and she has the popcorn plant too. It was the weirdest plant! It really smelled just like popcorn. She said the flowers even look a little like popcorn.

wow! I have never heard of such a plant (popcorn)...
I grew Pineapple sage back at my SO.Cal home,, the hummingbirds loved it! Oh and it makes a lovely tisane (herbal tea)

we have a greenhouse business in Central Indiana & we sold popcorn plants this year for the first time. We grew just a few to try them but we will definately grow more next year, they were a huge hit! They will grow up to 6 foot tall, the blooms look like popcorn, & the leaves smell like popcorn when you rub them. It is a great conversation piece/

Last Saturday when I was at the greenhouse, there were people coming in and asking for them. She didn't have any left though. She showed me a picture of the flowers, and they do look like popcorn. She also showed me some cosmos she had that smell like chocolate. Those were pretty cool.
