Flower for the Day 9-19 Russian Sage


Perovskia atriplicifolia. There is a large patch of Russian sage by the mail box. I cut it back about twice a year and it explodes back almost immediately. It has upright grayish silver stems and tubular lavender flowers. When crushed the stems and leaves give off a pungent odor much like other sages.
