Product Details

Product Details

Native to Pakistan Perovskia atriplicifolia is a semiwoody perennial (more like a shrub than a perennial) that carries a cloud of small blue flowers on widely arching stems that grow 3–4′ tall and as wide. The effect is a charming, airy haze of soft blue against silvery gray, pungently aromatic foliage.

A genus in the Mint family that includes only 4 species, all aromatic subshrubs with silvery foliage and an open branching habit. Bloom begins in July and continues right through September, which makes Perovskia an exceptionally long-blooming perennial. Plants are vigorous and very hardy, ignoring heat, drought, and pests, while always looking fresh. A superb companion for pink Malva, Garden Phlox of every hue, Rudbeckia, Sedum, ornamental Grasses—you get the idea.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Easy Care, Great Performer

Arrived in great condition, and they come back year after year. Instructions from White Flower Farm were great, too. These also transplant easily. Really beautiful.

Both Russian Sage Died

I had two of these plants and neither made it the second year. The plants sent were quite small. Happy with the other plants from White Flower Farm but these were a huge disappointment

Thrives in right conditions.

Gorgeous. I use it as a border and it keeps deer away. I suspect negative reviews could be due to not enough drainage, not enough full sun.

Easy to grow

I planted 3 of these, and in fact one of these was from a cutting of the other two. They are beautiful and so easy to grow. In spring, cut at least 7-8 inches off the top, and they will bloom like crazy. Always healthy.

Plant Perovskia in full sun and well-drained soil. Drought tolerant.

Leave the silvery stems standing over winter; prune back to just 8–12″ in early spring. In cold-winter climates, plants may be killed back to the ground but will resprout.
