Plant Information

Plant Care

Russian Sage thrives with minimal maintenance. Cut back stems to about 6 inches in early spring before new growth appears. During the first growing season, water regularly to establish a deep root system. Once established, its drought-tolerant and requires little watering. No fertilization is necessary, as it performs well in poor soil conditions.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 2-3 feet apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Add a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stems to prevent rot. Choose a location with excellent drainage and full sun exposure for optimal growth and flowering.
