Beautiful!
Reviewed By: Martine (Romeo, Michigan)
I ordered this plant over 5 years ago from Gurney's. It's now my favorite plant in the whole garden. Such a stunning color - it really stands out. I highly recommend it.

Russian Sage
Reviewed By: Daron (Omaha, Nebraska)
I planted about eight of these plants last year and all but two failed. It could have been because I did not water them daily as I should have but I expected more. These were planted in a location that had partial shade which could have caused them to fail also.

Heat tolerant
Reviewed By: Deb (Norfolk, VA)
I ordered these from Gurney's this spring. My front yard is very hot & sunny and they took it like champs. Long lasting bloom (Oct 1 and they are just now beginning to fade). They don't need much watering and do almost as well in partial shade. Highly recommended if you need a reliable heat and dought tolerant plant.
