Little Spires Russian Sage 1 Live Flowering Perennial, 1 Gallon Pot – Perovskia atriplicifolia ‘Little Spires’

Little Spires Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia ‘Little Spires’, also classified as Salvia yangii ‘Little Spires’) is a compact ornamental perennial valued for its airy lavender-blue flower spikes and finely divided, silvery-green foliage. From midsummer into fall, numerous small flowers appear along upright stems, creating a soft, colorful display above the aromatic leaves.

This selection of Russian sage develops a compact, upright, bushy growth habit with slender stems and fine-textured foliage. Little Spires is well suited for sunny perennial borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, rock gardens, and mixed landscape plantings. Its lavender-blue flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other visiting pollinators, while the silver-toned foliage provides attractive contrast alongside other flowering perennials.

Little Spires Russian Sage performs best in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates dry conditions and generally has low to moderate water requirements. In colder regions, the plant may lose its leaves and experience seasonal stem dieback, with fresh growth developing when warmer weather returns.

Each order includes 1 live Little Spires Russian Sage supplied in a 1-gallon nursery container (G1).
