Russian Sage 'Denim 'N Lace' (Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Denim 'N Lace') brings a fresh, airy look to hot, sunny beds with lacy foliage and long-blooming, sky-blue to purple flower spikes. You will get the best color and the strongest stems in full sun, especially where the soil drains well and the site runs on the drier side once established.

Plan for a mature size around 28-32 inches tall and about 34-38 inches wide. Use it as a crisp border plant, in mass plantings, or as a vertical accent mixed with ornamental grasses and other sun-loving perennials. The aromatic gray-green foliage adds texture all season and can be especially enjoyable near paths and patios where you can brush the leaves and notice the scent.

Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish. After that, this plant is known for good drought tolerance and can handle average to low moisture as long as it is not left in wet, poorly drained soil. If your soil is heavy, improve drainage with organic matter or plant on a slight mound to avoid winter wetness.

Maintenance is simple. Cut back in late winter or early spring, removing old stems to encourage fresh growth. Provide good air circulation, avoid overwatering, and you will have an easy-care perennial that is also deer resistant and often rabbit resistant. The blooms can attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, and hummingbirds may visit as well.
