About Perovskia atriplicifolia Lacey Blue- Russian Sage 3 Litre Pot

Perovskia atriplicifolia Lacey Blue®

This refined cultivar offers a more compact alternative to traditional Russian sage whilst maintaining all the desirable characteristics of the species. The exceptionally fine, lacy silver foliage creates beautiful textural interest, whilst clear sky-blue flower spikes provide abundant late-season colour beloved by pollinators.

Seasonal Highlights

Late summer brings masses of clear sky-blue flower spikes above the silvery foliage. The finely divided aromatic leaves provide outstanding texture from late spring through autumn, while silvery stems add winter structure after flowering.

Key Features

  • Compact, well-behaved habit
  • Exceptionally fine lacy silver foliage
  • Clear sky-blue summer flowers
  • Excellent pollinator attractor
  • Outstanding drought tolerance

Perfect For

Ideal for smaller borders and containers where a compact form is desired. Perfect for Mediterranean and gravel gardens. Excellent in prairie-style plantings and alongside roses. Works beautifully in sunny courtyards and on hot, dry banks.

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Thrives in poor to moderately fertile conditions - avoid rich soil which encourages soft growth. Water during establishment but very drought tolerant once settled. Cut back hard to 15-30cm in mid-spring for best results. Avoid pruning in autumn.

Looks Great With

Beautiful alongside ornamental grasses, gaura and compact sedums. The fine silver foliage contrasts wonderfully with bold-leaved plants like achillea and echinacea. Blue flowers complement yellow coreopsis and orange crocosmia.

An exceptional choice for adding fine texture, late-season colour and pollinator value to smaller gardens with minimal maintenance.
