Notes
'Longin' Russian sage (Perovskia 'Longin') is a perennial with blue flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil. It blooms from early to late summer and in early autumn. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It tolerates drought, so give it room to reach 36 to 48 inches tall and 24 to 36 inches wide.
Pairs well with May Night salvia, Feather reed grass, and Lemon thyme.
