Russian sage

Perovskia are sparsely branched subshrubs, originating from areas ranging from Afghanistan to Tibet. They grow in open, sunny, rocky, and stony habitats. Their white-felted shoots and grayish aromatic leaves are striking. They fit well in sunny flower beds with other drought-loving perennials, where they create interesting structures even in the winter months. Little Spire is a smaller cultivar suitable even for pots with a soil volume of 7 liters or more.

Russian sage will bring a touch of sunny steppes to the garden and places almost no demands on care. These sparsely branched subshrubs originally come from the harsh, rocky regions from Afghanistan to Tibet, where they grow on open plains bathed in sun. Due to its origin, it revels in full sun and in poor, well-drained sandy soil with minimal moisture. You will receive from us a well-rooted seedling in a pot, which you just need to transplant directly to the chosen spot in the flowerbed. It does not need support, common pests and diseases avoid it, and it will survive frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees. It grows up to one hundred and twenty centimeters and forms conspicuous white-felted shoots with silvery-gray leaves. Blue Spire is an aromatic variety with airy, medium blue flowers that act as an attraction for bees and butterflies. Russian sage stands out next to drought-tolerant perennials. The flowers are suitable for both cutting and drying into winter arrangements. Moreover, the silvery stems will ensure a beautiful winter effect in the flowerbed.
