Russian Sage

Perovskia atriplicifolia

Russian Sage is a low-maintenance native to Central Asia. In Austin landscaping, the bushy perennial provides months of soft color through its dreamy blooms, providing visual interest and versatility in your landscaping design.

Watering is easy, too. Russian Sage prefers medium-dry soil. During the initial growing season, it benefits from regular watering to develop a strong and deep root system. However, once established, overwatering can lead to root rot. In Austin, the perennial usually doesn’t need supplemental watering. It’s even drought-resistant, conserving water to thrive when other plants suffer.

A healthy Russian Sage plant will grow dense stalks of silver-green leaves. Interestingly, this plant is relative to mint. When you crush the leaves, they produce a mint-like smell. As it matures, tubular flower spikes will grow from the ends. Lavender-blue flowers begin to bloom in late summer, and Russian Sage will continue to provide color to your property well into fall. Cut the plant down to the ground in the late winter, and your Russian Sage plant will be ready to come back in the spring.
