Hardy throughout USDA hardiness zones 4 - 9, Russian Sage are salt-tolerant plants that tolerate average and alkaline soils equally well. One of many deer-resistant perennials, you'll have few issues to worry about with this amazing plant!
You don't need to tell anyone how little care it requires. It will tolerate periodic drought but will flower best if it receives an even amount of water on a regular basis. When you plant these perennials, ensure the water drains away from the crown quickly. Elevate your planting bed, or plant in containers with lots of drainage holes or on a berm with fast-draining soil.
Prune to shape or rejuvenate in early spring, cutting back the stems at a 45-degree angle just above the lowest bud. Clean the mounds just as you notice new growth in the early spring. You can pinch back or shear plants in the late spring or early summer by half to encourage tidy mounded growth with lots of branching. Every 3-5 years, divide Russian Sage to prevent overcrowding.
