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!

So far they are doing well
So far so good. Very excited to see them bloom. Our local deer herd has been by and turned their noses up at them a good sign
Arrived dumped out of box and died
Arrived completely dumped out of pots in box. Roots were exposed and it died. Fast Growing Trees refunded my money, but this being my first experience ordering, I will likely go to local nurseries in the future.
It's a little smaller than I expected
So far it's growing quite well on the deck. I've plans for it out in front eventually. Looking forward to it blooming out.
Pretty but very small
So much smaller than I expected. I wish this side would show pictures of what the plants look like when shipped. I bought the 1gallon 6-pack. They are about 6-10 inches tall. At least, these were the only plants in a large order that arrived in good condition.
Beautiful Russian Sage
My Russian Sage is just gorgeous! I buy everything from FGT because of the quality and care they put in their plants. Highly recommend for it's easy care and beauty.
