Care & maintenance

CrazyBlue Portfolio Russian Sage is exceptionally low-maintenance. Prune back to about 6-12 inches in early spring before new growth appears to encourage a more compact and floriferous plant. No special fertilization is typically needed unless soil is very poor. Avoid heavy mulching in humid climates to prevent crown rot.
