Notes
'Denim 'n Lace' Russian sage (Salvia yangii 'Denim 'n Lace') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and xeriscapes. 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. Its flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The plant is fragrant and tolerates drought and salt, so it suits tough, dry spots.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Magnus coneflower, Creeping thyme, and Blue grama.
