Perovskia atriplicifolia
RUSSIAN SAGE 'TAIGA' BLUE
- Unit price
- / per
Like a giant and prolific lavender, Russian Sage 'Taiga' has mighty deep-blue blooms that seem to last forever! Forming clouds of color, they bloom from summer until fall, and can also be used as a dried flower and everlasting. Plants are large and easy to grow, and are tolerant of neglect, drought and poor soils once they are established. Foliage is silver-gray and equally attractive.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 4-5 feet
Location: Sun
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Seeds per packet: 10
Surface sow as light aids germination. Water the seeds in. Leave them at room temperature for 5 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
