Russian Sage

Plant in poor to average, sharply drained soil in full sun — Russian sage declines quickly in fertile or moist soil and is highly susceptible to root rot in clay. Cut plants back hard in early spring (to about 6 in) just as new basal growth emerges; do not cut back in fall as the woody framework helps protect the crown. The airy silver stems and lavender-blue flowers create a haze of color from midsummer through fall and are beloved by pollinators. Deer avoid this plant due to its strongly aromatic foliage. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 24–36 дюймів Висота: 36–60 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–30 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 16–21°C
