'Denim 'n Lace' 2Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia)

Gardeners, rejoice! Russian Sage has long been adored for its airy, effortless charm and ability to play nicely with every color in the rainbow. But let’s be real – older varieties were often a bit too tall for cozy gardens or too floppy for our taste. Enter the delightful ‘Denim ‘n Lace,’ the garden superstar we’ve all been waiting for!

This variety is just the right height for any garden, with stronger, more upright stems that stand tall and proud. It’s not just sturdy – it’s stunning! Lacy, sky-blue flowers dance atop amethyst-hued calyxes, which are packed so closely together that they give off a lush, full bloom look. Even after the peak blooming period, those colorful calyxes keep the magic alive, making ‘Denim ‘n Lace’ a feast for the eyes all season long. Your garden’s new best friend has arrived!

We give the plants a hard trim in our greenhouse to support them as they conserve energy for the next growing season. Rest assured, your perennials will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!
