Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Sage Advice'
(1)
Pot Size: 5.25 Inch Square Pot
'Denim 'n Lace' has huge sky blue flowers on sturdy stems; so no more floppy flowers! This Russian Sage is a little bit shorter than average but the blooms fill in much more densely than others. This is a low-maintenance garden choice as it is very drought tolerant once established. Perovskia atriplicifolia was named 1995 Perennial Plant Association Plant of the Year.
Uses: Borders, Cottage Gardens, Cut Flower, Landscapes, Mass Planting

Homeowner Growing Tips: Grow in full sun in well-drained soils. Tolerates clay soil, dry, alkaline soils, poor fertility, and salt spray. Cut stems back close to the base in early spring.
I just received two of these plants and they are so healthy and large. I am looking forward to next years blooms. I purchased these on sale at the end of the season and they are still such wonderful plants.
First year’s growth produced many blue flowers on a nice, tight plant. Far nicer than the species.
