Russian Sage ‘Little Spire’
Description
Good for a border spot where Russian Sage would look nice, but would be too large. Perovskia Little Spire is upright and compact at 2′ with all the good qualities of the genus. Violet-blue flowers atop aromatic grey-green foliage. This variety does well without spring pinching. Shouldn’t be cut back further than 1′ after frost in the fall, leaving some stem buds for next year’s growth.
