| Botanical Name | Perovskia atriplicifolia |
| Description | Russian Sage is a standout for Houston’s low-maintenance landscapes, thriving in the hottest, sunniest spots. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established and handles high humidity well. However, it is highly susceptible to root rot if soil remains wet. In our region's heavy clay, it is critical to plant in a raised bed or a well-amended, high-drainage area. Avoid low spots where water collects after a heavy Gulf Coast rain. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential to prevent flopping) |
| Height x Width | 3-4' Height x 2-3' Width |
| Water | Low; drought tolerant once established |
| Zones | 5 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Little to no fertilizer required; avoid over-feeding |
| Pruning | Cut back to 4-6" in late winter to encourage new, upright growth |
| Deer Resistance | High (Aromatic foliage deters deer and rabbits) |
