This plant provides the look and feel of lavender meadows,even in harsh climates! The Russian Sage is a deciduous shrub that grows vigorously despiteheat and droughtconditions unsuited to many other plants.
The Russian Sage produces blooms in late summer with panicles of flowers that create cotton-candy like clouds atop woody stems. These clusters of lavender-blue flowers are made up of countless tiny, individual flowers. And just below the flowers, the leaves are finely cut and slightly scented. These narrow cut, gray-green leaves nearly disappear into abundant, purple flowers in the summer.
