LACEY BLUE RUSSIAN SAGE
Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Lacey Blue' (also known as 'Lacy Blue' or 'Lisslitt') is a remarkably compact Russian Sage that delivers one of the largest flower spikes for its size. It is prized for its sturdy, woody stems that form a dense, low-growing mound of deeply lobed, fragrant silvery-blue foliage. From mid-summer through early autumn, it is smothered in exceptionally wide panicles of vibrant lavender-blue flowers, creating a much more substantial and "fluffy" floral display than the wispy look of traditional taller varieties.
Topping out at a mere 15 to 18 inches tall, 'Lacey Blue' is the ideal solution for gardeners who want the classic Mediterranean look of Russian Sage in tight spaces, small sunny borders, or patio containers. It is incredibly heat, drought, and salt tolerant, thriving in the hottest, driest spots of the garden where other plants might struggle. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, it is famously "unkillable" as long as it has full sun and sharp drainage. Its pungent, sage-like aroma makes it virtually deer and rabbit resistant, ensuring its lacy texture stays intact all season long.
