| Botanical Name | Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Crazy Blue' |
| Description | 'Crazy Blue' is a standout for the Houston metro area because it stays more compact and upright than standard Russian Sage, even in our high humidity. While it adores the heat and is exceptionally drought-tolerant, it is highly sensitive to poor drainage. It will not tolerate heavy, waterlogged clay; for success, plant in raised beds or well-amended soil with plenty of expanded shale to ensure the roots stay dry during our rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required) |
| Height x Width | 18-24 in. Tall x 18-24 in. Wide |
| Water | Low; once established, it is very drought tolerant. |
| Zones | 4 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Minimal; a light application of balanced fertilizer in spring is sufficient. Avoid over-fertilizing. |
| Pruning | Cut back to 4-6 inches in late winter to encourage vigorous new growth. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
