Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Russian Sage' (Russian Sage). 1995 PPA Perennial Plant of the Year! The light, lavender-blue flowers, which attract butterflies to the garden, bloom in July, and often last throughout September. A particularly striking plant when grown along with white, yellow, or orange flowered perennials. Tones down bright yellow in the garden as well. Its silver-gray, deeply cut foliage and stiff stems are striking in the winter.
This plant is difficult to divide, and prefers to remain undisturbed.
