✂️ Care
Prune lightly in spring to maintain a compact shape and encourage dense branching. Remove spent flowers to extend summer blooming. Pinching the main stems when young promotes a bushier, more balanced habit.
Water moderately during growth; this Russian sage tolerates drought well once established. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot. Low-maintenance and very hardy, this compact cultivar offers weeks of airy lavender-blue flowers with minimal care.
