Russian Sage 'Blue Spire', Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Blue Spire', Perovskia hybrida 'Blue Spire'
Award-winning Perovskia ‘Blue Spire’ is an erect multi-stemmed, deciduous sub-shrub with fuzzy clusters of small violet-blue flowers, borne on thin white stems, clad with finely-dissected, aromatic gray-green leaves. Blooming for weeks from mid-summer to fall, this delicate-looking plant is a toughy that is resistant to drought, heat, pests and poor soils. Pretty and excellent for xeriscaping, its long blooming season, makes it an extremely valuable addition to the garden – even in winter when the stems create a beautiful feature in the landscape.
