#ProPlantTips For Care
Full sun Russian Sage tolerates harsh dry conditions with ease! These herbaceous perennials require regular access to water while young plants are establishing, but afterward, they have moderate to low moisture needs. All types of well-drained soil work great for these hardy plants! Drought-tolerant once established, Russian Sage thrives in rocky, sandy, poor soil and urban conditions no problem! Cut all stems down to a few inches each year in late winter or early spring to allow all new growth to form from the base.
- Full Sun
- Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Low Moisture Once Established
- Prune Late Winter
- Heat & Humidity Tolerant
- Easy Care & Easy to Grow!
Graceful, airy, and tough-as-nails, Blue Jean Baby Russian Sage will be a standout addition to your garden! Call Nature Hills today!

Our first shipment wasn’t great, but we contacted customer service and they sent a gorgeous replacement!
Glad the team was able to turn things around for you, Claire. Denim 'n Lace is such a reliable bloomer once it gets established, so it is worth getting a healthy start. Thanks for giving us the chance to make it right, and enjoy that sage this season.
Very happy on arrival ! Packaged perfectly
Russian Sage is one of those plants that ships well when it's packed right, and it sounds like this one arrived in good shape. Thanks for letting us know, Jarrod. Get it settled in with good drainage and plenty of sun and it will reward you with those long lavender spikes all summer long.
Just as promised .....in great shape
Denim 'n Lace is a tough plant to ship well given how wispy the stems can be, so it's good to hear it arrived in solid shape. It should establish quickly and reward you with those long lavender spikes all summer. Thanks for the note, Brent. The Nature Hills Team
My Denim 'n Lace Russian Sage arrived in good condition although it was already "bloomed out" but that's just part of the growth cycle. I cut it back slightly, planted it and it's already pushing up new bright green growth. Hope to get to enjoy it this fall before first frost.
That new growth pushing up after a cutback is a great sign, Jennifer. Russian Sage is tough and fast to rebound once it settles into the ground. If you are in a zone where frost comes early, the plant should still put on a decent show before it goes dormant, and next year it will come back even fuller. Thanks for sharing the update.
Plant was well packaged. Thought it would be a bit more full being a little older; it's planted and seems to be doing ok.
Glad it arrived well protected and is off to a good start in the ground. Thanks for planting it and sharing the update, Neil. -The Nature Hills team
My plants arrived in great shape and are looking healthy after being planted for a couple weeks now.
Russian Sage is one of those plants that tends to settle in quickly once it finds its footing, and it sounds like yours are off to a strong start. Blue Jean Baby in particular puts on a nice show once it hits its stride, with that soft silvery foliage and the lavender-blue flower spikes. Thanks for the update, Paula, and enjoy watching it fill in over the season.
The Russian Sage plant I received of good size and very healthy. It seems to like its new home and is growing as I hoped.
Russian Sage tends to settle in quickly when it arrives in good shape, so it's great to hear yours is already taking off. As it matures it will really start to branch out and fill in, and a light cutback in early spring each year keeps it blooming at its best. Thanks for sharing the update, Sue.
Perfect, healthy, growing!
Healthy and growing is exactly what you want to see with Russian Sage. It tends to take off once it settles in, and with a name like Blue Jean Baby you can look forward to those soft lavender-blue spikes all summer long. Thanks for the quick update, Susan.
