| Russian Sage |
I love this Russian Sage plant that is growing at the Co-op on Gabriola Island. At first I thought it was a lavender, but after smelling it and checking it out at the local plant nursery, it turned out to be Russian Sage. It is a perennial and is a member of the mint family. It is drought resistant and trouble-free. It has airy spikes of small purple flowers on tall upright stems. The small gray-green leaves are aromatic when crushed and remind me of the prairie sage smell. The plant can grow 3 to 5 feet tall.
Seeing that we are presently in a drought on the Island and this plant looks to be doing very good, I decided to purchase one. Can't wait see next year what mine looks like as it is just a starter now
