Salvia yangii (formerly Perovskia atriplicifolia) Russian Sage is a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial prized for its airy clouds of lavender-blue flowers and aromatic silvery-gray foliage. Blooming from midsummer into fall, this long-flowering favorite adds soft color, texture, and movement to the landscape while thriving in hot, sunny conditions where many other plants struggle. Its tall, open habit makes Russian Sage an excellent backdrop for perennial borders, cottage gardens, and xeriscapes.
