Prime Time Russian Sage blooms earlier and has denser flower spikes than other varieties. Just like other perovskias, it has great drought tolerance and provides a long season of color. Growing 30 to 36 in. tall, this compact, bushy plant has extra-large, blue-purple flowers than open in midsummer and provide color into fall. This is a low maintenance perennial that handles the heat and humidity, too. Ideal for planting as a specimen or grouping together. Plant in full sun.
