How to make a lovely plant even lovelier: add finely cut, ferny silver foliage to the graceful and aromatic 3-5' perennial-shrub with its large (to 1') airy clusters of lavender-blue flowers...a prefect combination! S/M-D/GDr

Silver-gray foliage is finely divided on white stems. Tighter, bushy habit than species growing to 3.5'. Blue flowers summer to fall.

A cut leaf, somewhat shorter version of Russian sage. The ferny silver foliage is quite attractive, and clocking in at 2-3 feet tall, it is less prone to floppiness than the straight species. Maintains all the heat and drought tolerance and general cast-iron robustness of the species. Zone 5

Finely cut silver foliage distinguishes this form of Russian Sage. Sturdy upright stems bearing spires of laveder-blue salvia like flowers on 3-4' plants. Tolerates of summer humidity, but does need well drained soil to winter over well.
