Product Description
Perovskia atriplicifolia (25) Bare Root Plants
Family: Lamiaceae/Labiatae (mint Family); Common name: Russian Sage.
Airy spikes of lavender-blue, tubular flowers top strong stems with small, finely dissected, silvery-green leaves provides two or three months of flowers in late summer and autumn. Its loose, open habit makes this perennial an effective filler in the back of the border.
A perfect perennial for hot, dry climates and also exceptionally cold hardy. Perovskia can be used in a wide variety of environments with little attention through the season - a reason they have long been a staple of landscapers. Expect these plants to be a little later to emerge in spring, but also to offer color well into fall.
