Welcome a haze of soft, silvery-blue to your garden with Russian Sage! This easy-to-grow perennial offers airy spikes of delicate lavender-blue flowers from summer through fall, creating a long season of subtle beauty and attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its aromatic, silvery-gray foliage adds a lovely textural element to the landscape even when not in bloom.
Typically reaching a height of 2-4 feet and spreading 2-3 feet wide, Russian Sage is a fantastic choice for adding a touch of informal elegance to borders, cottage gardens, or xeriscapes. It thrives in full sun and is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, making it perfectly suited for the Prescott climate. Plus, it's wonderfully deer resistant thanks to its aromatic leaves.
For the best establishment and vibrant foliage and flowers, plant your Russian Sage in well-draining soil amended with Watters Premium Mulch to help retain some moisture while ensuring good drainage and suppressing weeds. A single application of 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food in the early spring will provide the slow-release nutrients needed for healthy growth and abundant blooms throughout the season. Enjoy the low-maintenance beauty and long-lasting color of Russian Sage in your garden! #RussianSage #LavenderBlueBlooms #DroughtTolerantPerennial #DeerResistantPlant #PollinatorFriendlyGarden
