Product Description

Lavender-blueflower spikes
Aromatic foliage
Heat and drought tolerant
Attracts bees and hummingbirds
Deer tend to avoid

This tough Russian sage stands up to the elements—and looks good doing it. Growing 28-34 in. tall, Blue Steel Perovskia is a densely branched, compact perennial with upraised stems. The lavender-blue flower spikes attract hummingbirds and pollinators—and both the flowers and silvery green foliage add fragrance to the garden. This sun-loving perennial is cold hardy and heat tolerant. Once established, it's drought tolerant too. Whether grown in a container, as an accent plant or massed in the landscape, this easy-care perennial is impressive. Grows best in full sun. Deer tend to avoid.
