Perovskia atriplicifolia (Russian Sage) Perennial, purple flowers, 1 - Size Container

Was a bit nervous about buying a plant online. It came, well pack and ventilated for the plant to travel. It was healthy and strongly scented. I planted in the ground tonight.

Excellent packing and quick delivery. The plants have been cut back to the roots for shipping, yet they came in a tall box. I think they will re-grow nicely; time will tell.Overall very fair price.

Can't get my system to upload photos on Amazon. This was shipped USPS Priority Mail and packed in a way that could not be damaged unless an elephant sat on the tall box. No broken leaves, no soil lost from the one-gallon Proven Winners pot, in bloom and no damaged spires or stalks of teeny flowers on the stalks. And smells like an herb farm - delicious smell. Russian Sage is in the mint family, like sage, but Russian Sage is not Salvia. Price was great considering the packing job, free shipping since we have Amazon Prime. USPS has slowed down a bit on Priority Mail shipping time, but that just meant soil at top of pot was a bit dry. Arrived in perfect condition anyway. We set it in a shallow pan of water to replenish the moisture it needed. Planting it in full sun in our pollinator garden in front yard, and it is cold-hardy down to zone 4 (we are zone 5b, a bit warmer) and will give us many years of happy pollinators.

Jan 27 arrival. The plant came well-packaged in a large box. It seemed very dry and I was nervous it would not survive.As of today, Feb 21, the green shoots are coming up all over! The photo is showing how much growth we have after about 3 weeks of love and care.

These arrived basically looking like a bunch of dead bare sticks. But I transferred them into bigger pots and watered them in deeply, in full sun for 6-8 hours a day. Took about a week to notice new green growth popping up on the branches and now about a month later there’s flowers! 1 has flowers and the other is catching up but has lots of new green growth.So don’t be discouraged if your plant arrives sad or “dead” looking, plants like to be dramatic and if given some time and love they will bounce back!

It’s hard for me to find plants and flowers in the area where we live since it’s a smaller town. I wanted these for the new berm steps by our pond for our barn wedding venue. They are in perfect condition and I couldn’t be happier! This was the first time for me to take a chance to order anything like this online and I’ll be buying from this nursery again. Thank you guys for a great product!

Used it as spice …very nice

The plant is in good condition with healthy leaves, flowers and buds, even the soil was damp. Plant is a good size. Protected well in the packaging.
