Perovskia atriplicifolia ‘Filigran’
Russian Sage |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.406.070
Russian Sage is now available in several named selections, all of them extremely valuable for their long season of bloom in the summer garden. This recent selection forms a narrow upright clump of greyish leaves that are finely cut and fragrant. Spikes of rich violet-blue flowers appear in high summer, continuing into late fall. An extremely versatile garden plant, Russian Sage loves hot, sunny sites and will fit right into the perennial border, also well used among shrubs, and even in containers or tubs. Prune back to no less than 6 inches in the spring, and never in the fall. Exceptionally drought tolerant.
