Notes

'Denim' Russian sage (Perovskia 'Denim') is a perennial with lavender-blue flowers. 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 30 to 33 inches tall and 33 to 39 inches wide. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It is drought tolerant, so it suits dry spots.

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