Airy spikes of lavender-blue flowers top strong stems with small, finely dissected, silvery-green leaves. Its loose, open habit makes this perennial an effective filler in the back of the border. 1995 Perennial Plant of the Year!

Genus Notes -

Perovskia

Perovskia offer aromatic gray foliage and plentiful spikes of long-lasting, lavender-blue flowers from mid- to late-summer. This genus has significant benefits, including heat and drought tolerance, and deer and rabbit resistance, and is a pollinator magnet. Perovskia is also now referred to as Salvia yangii.

They should be cut back severely in spring. They need well drained soil and tolerate drought.
