Blue Jean Baby Russian Sage

‘Blue Jean Baby’! Lavender blue flowers held in smoky purple calyxes bloom for a long period starting in midsummer, with the color from the calyxes extending appeal into fall. This variety is one of the earliest Perovskia to bloom. This bushy selection joins the lineup of Perovskia from Walters Gardens hybridizing and, like the others this program has introduced, resists lodging. 
 
A perfect perennial for hot, dry climates and also exceptionally cold hardy. Blue Jean can be used in a wide variety of environments with little attention through the season - a reason they have long been a staple of landscapers. Expect these plants to be a little later to emerge in spring, but also to offer color well into fall.
