Notes

'Blue Jean Baby' Russian sage (Perovskia 'Blue Jean Baby') is a perennial. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil. It grows 33 to 36 inches tall and 30 to 36 inches wide. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Lavender-blue flowers top the plant, and it tolerates drought once settled in.

Pairs well with Gertrude Jekyll rose, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Buffalo grass.
