Russian Sage Blue Jean Baby #1

This compact variety forms a dense mound of fragrant gray-green leaves, producing multiple spikes of lavender blue flowers held in smoky purple calyxes from summer until fall; vigorous and early blooming; excellent for the garden or mixed containers. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cut back to the ground in late winter before active growth resumes. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics..
