#JANAZKA Perovskia Russian Sage, also known as Russian Sage Blue Spires or Perovskia Atriplicifolia, is a perennial plant that is native to the Himalayas and Western China, despite its name. It was named after Vasily Alekseevich Perovski, a Russian count and general who governed the Russian province of Orenburg, by a Russian botanist. When the leaves of this plant are crushed, they release a sage-like aroma. Its lavender-blue flowers bloom on silver-green foliage July-October. It is drought tolerant, pest and disease-resistant, and attracts pollinators. Russian Sage has an upright and open habit, with a height of 3-5 feet and a width of 2-4 feet. It has various landscape applications, including mass plantings, individual spots of color, borders, and dividing hedges.
