Russian Sage 'Little Spire' is a beautiful woody perennial with unique grayish-green aromatic foliage.

Planting Russian Sage softens corners and other harsh areas. A great substitute for lavender with the small tubular lavender blue flowers that appear on the spires in late summer through fall on sage. I've paired my Little Spire Russian Sage with Pineapple Sage, Angelina Sedum, Salvia and Lavender Plants. 

This compact perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it highly drought-tolerant and ideal for hot, dry climates. Its robust nature ensures minimal maintenance, providing continuous beauty throughout the summer months with little effort.

The flowers on the Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Little Spire' make excellent cut or dried flower arrangements. This compact fragrant perennial is an improved dwarf plant selection that stays compact and does not flop over. It is an overall excellent perennial that is drought tolerant and virtually maintenance free. This sage has fragrant flowers and foliage, and can be used for butterfly gardens, container, or mass plantings. An excellent substitute for Lavender plants in colder climates.
