Comments:

The first time Russian sage has been available as a first year flowering perennial. Heat, frost, and drought tolerant. Taiga features plants with long flower spikes of sky blue that beautifully set off the silvery green foliage. Considered a hardy perennial in Zones 5 and higher, its heat and drought tolerance makes it perfect for both landscaping and as an accent plant.
