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!

Well packed and healthy

Ordered 2 Russian sage. Arrived well packed and a little droopy, but perked right up with water and sun. Transplanted near house foundation and have grown in just a few weeks.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Rebecca, a little droopiness after the journey followed by a quick perk up with water and sun is exactly how it should go! So glad both are already growing near the foundation. Russian Sage is such a beautiful and resilient variety and we think yours are going to be stunning!

Got tipped over in shipping

Got tipped over in shipping but has rebounded nicely after planting. Overall, very pleased with the Russian Sage.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Diane, so glad it bounced back so nicely after planting! Russian Sage is such a resilient and beautiful plant and it sounds like yours is proving that. We'll definitely share the tipping feedback with the carrier and we're really glad it all worked out!

They're alive!

These arrived in good shape and seem to have taken root. Hopefully, if they survive this brutal summer and a little bit of winter, they'll start maturing next year or next and produce blooms.

Plants are doing great some

Plants are doing great some not so great. It’s not the plants it’s just the crazy weather that we are having. I’m sure there will be beautiful flowers once the weather decides what season we are in!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe love the patience and positive attitude, Kathleen! Russian Sage is wonderfully resilient and we think once the weather decides what season it is those beautiful blooms are going to absolutely thrive. We hope the stragglers catch up quickly and that the whole planting rewards you with a stunning purple display very soon!
