Russian Sage delivers tall, airy spires of lavender-blue color on highly-textured silver-gray foliage to the landscape. A robust plant, Russian Sage performs beautifully in hot, dry climates and is drought tolerant once established. Very attractive to pollinators, find a spot for this beautiful specimen where its gentle colors and loose shape can play a supporting role to bolder perennials, like coneflowers, rudbeckia and liatris. (Perovskia atriplicifolia)

Great customer service.

"This is my first time buying from A M. I had a problem with one of the five pieces I ordered. I emailed them before reading the warranty and was pleasantly surprised by their response. A new plant was in the mail the next week and upon receiving I planted it in the same spot as the first and it’s doing very well. One of the other plants was taken over by a weed while I was out of town and I tried to separate it from the weed and replanted it but I just read it’s poisonous to pets so I’ll keep an eye on it. If it survives I’ll transplant to somewhere my pup can’t get to it. Otherwise I’ll just let it go."

— Denny B. (5/5)

Russian Sedge arrived in great

"Russian Sedge arrived in great condition. It is doing well in ground on south side of a contender peach tree. Look forward to watching it grow"

— Andrew J. (5/5)

Plants were half dead when received

"I have bought this plant from other places before. This product took 12 days in the mail once shipped and were half dead when receive. Russian Sage normally is a great plant."

— Jan (1/5)

I would purchase from them again

"Easy instructions to follow, I had a couple that were dead upon arrival, I called and they shipped me new ones quickly, I would definitely buy from them again"

— Kazy (5/5)

vigorous and rapid growers

"We put half in pots and half directly into the ground and all are thriving and blooming with minimal effort on our part."

— TMT (5/5)

frustrating

"I have just received it. Mine is too small and a branch of it goes to the ground. it doesn't stand and it lays down to grow. I think they sent the last ugly one which was unsold by the end."

— Kylee (1/5)

Love these

"Really happy with the starter plants All have survived and are doing well"

— Johnnysoda (4/5)

First season review: To be continued!

"Interesting experience. This particular plant (I have 5 perennial beds) is slow to develop this first season, and I mean super slow. I know the rules : "First year sleep, 2nd year creep, 3rd year leap. " this one sure is sleeping. NO new shoots. One of the 2 shoots has become 8" long. We'll see! The jury's out on whether this 'll hold up:)"

— Vermonter (3/5)

Perfect for my front garden

"Using these for a large garden with utility boxes to camaflouge them."

— Angelpuff (5/5)

"arrived healthy and have thrived"
