About this plant

Meet CrazyBlue Portfolio Russian Sage, a dynamic and compact variety boasting an abundance of electric purple-blue flowers from mid-summer through fall. Its silvery-green foliage, aromatic when brushed, provides a striking contrast to the vibrant blooms. This Proven Winners selection is celebrated for its dense, upright habit, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, or mass plantings. More compact than traditional Russian Sage, CrazyBlue Portfolio offers all the classic appeal in a more manageable size. Its resilient nature, coupled with its extended bloom time, ensures a captivating display in your landscape for months on end. Ideal for hot, sunny locations, CrazyBlue Portfolio thrives on neglect once established. Its low water requirements and resistance to deer and rabbits make it a carefree addition to any garden, bringing both beauty and ease to your outdoor living space.

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.
