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