Description
A great low-maintenance perennial, Russian Sage is at home in a variety of gardens. It features season-long blooms and its stems provide a bright, white interest in the garden in winter.
Russian Sage is great in pollinator gardens while being unattractive to deer and rabbits. Its nearly year-round interest makes it a wonderful addition to the perennial garden, one requiring very little maintenance to thrive.
Left untouched, Russian Sage can grow up to 4-5' tall, though seasonal pruning and occasional dividing of the plants is recommended. Russian Sage spread by runners and grow well in masses - they should be monitored if part of a larger garden where plant masses are meant to be more 'contained.'
