Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) is a hardy perennial with airy, lavender-blue flower spikes and silvery, fragrant foliage that blooms from summer into fall. It grows about 3 to 5 feet tall and 2 to 4 feet wide, attracts bees and butterflies, and is deer resistant and drought tolerant once established. Great for borders, pollinator gardens and mass plantings. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil and cut stems back in late winter or early spring. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9. Container grown in a 3-gallon pot and hand packed in central Louisiana.
