Drought Tolerant, Airy & Vigorous Sage

Why Russian Sage Plants?

If you live in a dry climate but want to add whimsical beauty to your landscape, the Russian Sage plant is the way to go! This deciduous shrub grows vigorously, even in arid climates where other plants don't thrive.

The Russian Sage produces blooms in late summer with clusters of airy, lavender-blue flowers. These cotton-candy colored flower clusters are made up of countless tiny, individual flowers that cover the top of its stems. Just below the flowers, narrowly shaped, gray-green leaves nearly disappear into abundant, purple flowers in the summer.

The delicate, blown-by-the-wind nature of the Russian Sage also makes it ideal for adding to any garden style. It's a lively addition to desert-like landscapes, and in lush green gardens, it adds both color and dimension as it sways in the breeze. But most ideally, it's perfect for cottage gardens, placed in open areas, creating a focal point, or planted in rows as hedges. 

Whether you plant your Russian Sage in a vibrant green garden or a desert landscape, it makes an excellent companion plant to many other varieties, including perennials, succulents and ornamental grasses.

Plus, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more low-maintenance and equally lovely plant than this. Extremely easy to care for with vigorous growth, tolerance to heat and drought and both pest and deer resistant, the Russian Sage is all-around practical and pretty! 

For a reliable and easygoing shrub that will enchant the landscape, choose the Russian Sage. Start growing yours today!

Small but healthy and green

It’s currently green and small but came in good shape. I will have to wait to see how it grows

Pretty, but a spreader

Attractive, does well in heavy soils, and the bees love it. HOWEVER. . . very, very difficult to control once it's in the ground. Spreads like crazy. Would be great in a large container.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Sandy, we appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear your plant is doing well. Russian Sage is known for being hardy and vigorous, which can lead to spreading in the garden. Containing it in a pot is a smart option. Let us know anytime if you need advice on managing growth.
