More About Russian Sage

Salvia yangii, Perovskia atriplicifolia and commonly known as Russian sage, is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant. There are seven species of Perovskia, but P. atriplicifolia is the only one commonly available. In the first year, you will have to water well until it is established. It does best if you mulch the space where the perennial is planted. The plant does best in full sun and very dry landscape. This is a spectacular plant to grow in a mass planting.
Please note there are a few different types of Russian Sage. One of my favorites besides the Perovskia featured on this page is the Denim N’ Lace.
I put out 2 Russian sage plants this spring. They are smal and blooming, but the blooms are very pale. They get part sun.
