Perovskia 'Little Spire'
- Get all the dramatic impact of Russian sage in a brilliantly compact form that will never flop over or require messy staking!
- This perovskia produces a magnificent cloud of lavender-blue floral spires that hover over striking, highly aromatic, silvery-grey foliage.
- Perovskia is the ultimate drought-tolerant perennial, thriving in blazing sun and poor soils where other plants simply cannot survive.
- It blooms relentlessly from mid-summer straight through to autumn, providing an incredibly long, reliable season of spectacular color.
- The nectar-rich flowers are an absolute magnet for bees and butterflies, while the aromatic foliage naturally repels deer and rabbits.
