Notes
'Blue Jean Baby' Russian sage (Salvia yangii 'Blue Jean Baby') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and xeriscape. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit its fragrant flowers in summer and autumn. It is drought tolerant and salt tolerant, so it suits tough spots. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Magnus coneflower, and Creeping thyme.
