Perovskia atriplicifolia
Common name: Russian Sage
This sage has the same great features as older cultivars except it's shorter and has more of a bushy appearance.
It has baby blue flowers held in deep purple calyxes which extends the color throughout the fall.
It is heat-loving, drought-tolerant, and deer resistant.
It can be a sleepy head in the spring but be patient, as you will be rewarded with its color extending into fall.
Great when planted in masses.
