Read More About Russian Sage

Salvia yangii (formerly Perovskia atriplicifolia)

Russian Sage is a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial prized for its airy clouds of lavender-blue flowers and aromatic silvery-gray foliage. Blooming from midsummer into fall, this long-flowering favorite adds soft color, texture, and movement to the landscape while thriving in hot, sunny conditions where many other plants struggle.

Its tall, open habit makes Russian Sage an excellent backdrop for perennial borders, cottage gardens, and xeriscapes. The fragrant foliage naturally resists deer and rabbits, while the nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Once established, this easy-care perennial requires very little water, making it an outstanding choice for low-maintenance landscapes.

Height: 36–48 inches
Width: 20–30 inches
Habit: Upright, Airy
Exposure: Full Sun
USDA Zones: 4–9

Whether planted in sweeping drifts, paired with ornamental grasses, or used as a striking backdrop in perennial beds, Russian Sage brings months of color, graceful texture, and effortless beauty to sunny landscapes.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Long-Lasting Blooms: Produces abundant lavender-blue flower spikes from midsummer through fall.
  • Drought Tolerant: Thrives in hot, dry conditions with minimal watering once established.
  • Silvery Foliage: Aromatic silver-gray leaves provide beautiful texture even when the plant isn't blooming.
  • Pollinator Favorite: Attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects throughout the blooming season.
  • Easy to Grow: Deer- and rabbit-resistant, low-maintenance, and perfect for xeriscapes, cottage gardens, and sunny borders.

Order and Shipping Info:

-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
