Drought Tolerant, Airy & Vigorous Sage

Why Russian Sage Plants?

If you live in a dry climate but want to add whimsical beauty to your landscape, the Russian Sage plant is the way to go! This deciduous shrub grows vigorously, even in arid climates where other plants don't thrive.

The Russian Sage produces blooms in late summer with clusters of airy, lavender-blue flowers. These cotton-candy colored flower clusters are made up of countless tiny, individual flowers that cover the top of its stems. Just below the flowers, narrowly shaped, gray-green leaves nearly disappear into abundant, purple flowers in the summer.

The delicate, blown-by-the-wind nature of the Russian Sage also makes it ideal for adding to any garden style. It's a lively addition to desert-like landscapes, and in lush green gardens, it adds both color and dimension as it sways in the breeze. But most ideally, it's perfect for cottage gardens, placed in open areas, creating a focal point, or planted in rows as hedges.

Whether you plant your Russian Sage in a vibrant green garden or a desert landscape, it makes an excellent companion plant to many other varieties, including perennials, succulents and ornamental grasses.

Plus, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more low-maintenance and equally lovely plant than this. Extremely easy to care for with vigorous growth, tolerance to heat and drought and both pest and deer resistant, the Russian Sage is all-around practical and pretty!

For a reliable and easygoing shrub that will enchant the landscape, choose the Russian Sage. Start growing yours today!

Amazing Plant

I just love planting these Russian sage plants. They withstand drought conditions and flourish in the full sun location in my side garden. I purchased one more this year!

These came so thoughtfully packaged

These came so thoughtfully packaged and in great shape. I have already planted them on a sloped hill that I’ve struggled with what to do with. Very pleased, as always, with Trees.com

Russian Sage

Good purchase for the convection-oven that is central Texas. The plant is gowing well with only weekly watering (in the absence of rain) and tolerates the 100 degrees Farenheit very well. I would suggest this plant to anyone who lives in a dry, hot area of the country.

Trees.com Plant ExpertThanks for sharing, Pamela! A plant that can handle 100°F days without demanding constant watering is certainly valuable in your area. Hope your Russian Sage keeps growing strong through the heat!

Perfect Plant for Intense Full Sun

My Russian Sage arrived in great condition and after transplanting both plants sent up at least 3 shoots within the following weeks. They are looking really good! I had a spot in my garden that got really intense all-day sun and would burn less tolerant plants. These plants are loving the spot! I can't wait for them to get bigger and bigger

Trees.com Plant ExpertSending up multiple new shoots in just a few weeks is a great sign of happy, healthy roots! Russian Sage will only get fuller and more vibrant as it matures. Thank you for sharing your experience, Dianne!
