Bluesette Russian Sage

Bluesette Russian Sage

Salvia yangii 'Bluesette'

This compact perennial salvia bears fragrant blue flower spikes in summer fall, a long-blooming, pollinator-rich perennial earning its place through an extended season of colour with minimal care.

  • Blue flower spikes are produced in summer fall and continue reliably through summer; deadhead spent spikes to encourage rebloom.
  • Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, one of the most pollinator-productive perennials for Ontario gardens.
  • Compact habit, reaching 55 cm at maturity; drought tolerant once established; excellent drainage is essential, avoid waterlogged winter soils.
  • Best in full sun with average, dry, well-drained soil.

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Perovskia is drought tolerant and dislikes winter wetness, growing best in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun. In the fall, spent flower spikes can be pruned off for a tidier appearance.Note:Perovskia should not be pruned too far back until new growth emerges in the spring, and once the new growth appears, prune back to no lower than 30 cm.
Notes
The botanical name for Bluesette Russian Sage has been updated from Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Bluesette' to Salvia yangii 'Bluesette'.
