Perovskia Blue Steel Seed

Perennial

Shorter, bulkier version of Taiga, this perovskia’s Silvery green foliage contrasts with tiny blue flowers. Also known as Russian Sage, this is a perennial staple, and now there are seed produced varieties! Sky blue flower spikes beautifully set off silvery green foliage. Hardy in zone 5 and higher, Russian Sage is both heat and drought tolerant – perfect for landscaping and accent plants! The two varieties below each offer specific attributes depending on your market.

The Perovskia Blue Steel seed produces a compact, densely branched and bushy plant that works well in containers and gardens. You can grow Russian sage from seed in well-drained soil and full sun exposure. 

Russian sage seed should be planted during early spring or fall to allow the roots to develop during the off-season. With our Perovskia Blue Steel seed, you can expect good germination within 21 to 28 days under warm conditions. While Russian sage has a good soil tolerance, the plant does not perform well in soil that is too moist, as it can be susceptible to rot. 

You can buy Russian sage seeds from Harris Seeds and start growing your own plants to enjoy this captivating variety.
