It’s not every day we see something in a celebrity’s garden that can be easily recreated in our own homes.

But Adele surprised everyone by growing in her garden a simple, aromatic, and highly functional plant: pineapple sage (Salvia elegans).
This perennial species from the mint family is native to Mexico and Central America, famous for its bright red tubular flowers and fragrant leaves with a sweet pineapple scent. Beyond its unique beauty, pineapple sage has an irresistible feature: it attracts butterflies, pollinators, and hummingbirds — making it a true gem for any garden, big or small.
According to gardener Thom Rutter, contributor to Homes & Gardens, pineapple sage transforms any outdoor space:
“I often encourage people to add this plant to their backyards, because it brings unexpected joy even in compact areas. Not all of us can live like Adele, but we can have a garden as enchanting as hers.”
And it’s not just about beauty. Its leaves release a tropical fragrance reminiscent of ripe pineapple, offering a unique sensory experience. Moreover, when many plants are already wilting, pineapple sage blooms in vibrant scarlet tones, ensuring months of color and fragrance in the garden.
Another charming detail? Hummingbirds become loyal visitors of this plant, enjoying its abundant nectar several times a day. This makes pineapple sage one of the most reliable food sources for them at the end of the season.
Between fragrance, beauty, and the power to attract life to the backyard, it’s no surprise that Adele chose this plant. And the best part is that you can easily replicate this idea without needing much space.
