Perovskia is a sub-shrub that grows up to 3ft to 4ft tall. Erect silver stems and long panicles of violet- blue tubular flowers. The effect is of a bluish haze hovering above the border. Perovskia 'Taiga' is the first Russian sage available as a first year flowering perennia and its well behaved flower spikes grow upright and do not fall over. An added bonus is that the leaves of perovskia are strongly aromatic when brushed or crushed and smell of both sage and lavender.
Sowing: Sow seeds in cell packs or or 2 in. pots, press into soil and barely cover. Kept at 65-72° F., germination occurs in 7-21 days. Transplant into the garden 16-24 in. apart
Tips: They should be hard-pruned back to a little woody framework, no more than a few inches tall, just as they are beginning to leaf up- this is usually end of April or beginning of May Perovskia likes sunny location and it drought tolerant
