We used to have a lot of that in Maine. I've heard you can steep it in suntea to flavor it. I love the smell of that stuff- so fresh and nice.

Cyndi and Paul Muller.....

These are the tiny flowers you have growing in your driveway at the Mullerslane Farm!!

Enjoy.


Living by the river.....I haven't seen any....may need a sandier or clayey soil type.

It tastes nothing like pineapple. It's smells similar to pineapple only.

It grows in Kansas but not aggressive enough to be much of a pest plant.

You can use pineapple weed the same way you use chamomile.
