Perovskia atriplicifolia ‘Sage Advice’ provides a long-lasting haze of rich lavender-purple flowers above aromatic, mint-green foliage. Strong, upright stems keep the plant looking neat without flopping, even in exposed sunny borders. Its airy texture complements ornamental grasses, coneflowers and other summer perennials, while its nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators. This hardy Russian sage thrives in hot, dry sites once established and performs best in well-drained soil. Leave old stems through winter and cut them back in spring.
