Russian Sage
In stock · from $14.99
Bluesette' is a fresh take on Russian sage, distinguishing itself from the species and older varieties by its tidy, compact growth and early flowering. This cultivar thrives at the forefront of your garden; there's no requirement to relegate it to the rear of the border. 'Bluesette' is equally comfortable in a patio container. Throughout the summer, it offers an extended blooming period, much to the joy of pollinators and hummingbirds. The aromatic foliage acts as a deterrent to deer, and once it's established, 'Bluesette' exhibits excellent drought tolerance.
