PR02519 'TAIGA'
Russian Sage Seeds

Perovskia atriplicifolia

The branching sprays of small, attractive summer flowers create a marvelous lavender-blue
haze from July to September. The gray-green leaves are finely cut and wonderfully aromatic.
Needs only moderate water and performs well even in hot, humid climates. Taiga Russian Sage
is a more upright growing, less likely to flop selection, that looks stunning when combined with white
flowering plants. Grows 2-3 feet tall in short season climates, and up to 5 feet in milder areas of the country.
Winter hardy to zone 5.

How to Plant RUSSIAN SAGE Seeds

Sow seeds in cell packs or or 2 inch pots, press into soil and barely cover. Kept at 60-65° F., germination occurs over a period of 3-12 weeks. Germination can be improved by pre-chilling. Wrap seeds in a moist paper towel, place inside a zip-lock bag with plenty of air, and refrigerate for 2-4 weeks. Chilled seeds germinate faster and more uniformly. Transplant into the garden 24-36 inches apart.

Comments: Full sun, tolerates extreme heat and drought. Thrives in any soil with good drainage. Plants will bloom the first year when started early. Deer resistant, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
