RUSSIAN SAGE 1gal

The Russian Sage! This is a plant that brings a touch of airy elegance and resilience to your garden, my friend. Imagine delicate spires of lavender-blue flowers dancing above silvery-grey foliage – it’s a beautiful sight from midsummer right through the fall.

Typically, Russian Sage will reach about 2 to 4 feet in both height and width, creating a lovely vertical element without being too imposing. It thrives in full sun, so find a nice sunny spot where it can soak up those rays for at least six hours a day. And here's a bit of good news for those of us who share our gardens with curious critters: deer and rabbits tend to find the aromatic foliage of Russian Sage quite unappetizing, so it's often left untouched.

To help your Russian Sage flourish, especially in our Arizona soils, work in some Watters Premium Mulch around the base. This will help conserve precious moisture and keep the soil cooler during our warmer months. And to give it a little boost of energy for all that beautiful blooming, apply Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food in the spring as new growth begins to emerge. You'll find this plant is not only beautiful but also quite easy to care for once it's established.
