{"product_id":"denim-n-lace-russian-sage-bare-root-plant","title":"Denim 'n Lace Russian Sage - Bare Root Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eDenim 'n Lace is a Russian sage sized for the garden, about 28 to 32 inches tall, and its sturdier stems stand straighter than many older types. Lacy, bright sky-blue flowers sit on amethyst calyxes set close together, so the spires look especially full.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the calyxes stay colorful after the flowers pass, it seems to bloom from midsummer well into fall. It thrives on heat, drought and neglect as long as it gets full sun, and deer leave it alone. The airy texture blends with nearly any flower color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDense, branching spires are lined with tiny, lacy, sky-blue tubular flowers set in closely spaced amethyst-purple calyxes on sturdy silvery stems. The leaves are small, narrow, finely toothed and silvery gray-green with a sage-like scent. The plant forms an upright, rounded subshrub about 28 to 33 inches tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. At peak bloom it is a full, soft cloud of sky blue and amethyst over silvery foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRussian sage and lavender want the same hot sun and lean, sharp-draining soil, and its sky-blue spires take over in late summer after the main lavender bloom, carrying the silvery, fragrant look into fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in lean to average, well-drained soil; it thrives in heat and drought and dislikes wet feet. Hardy in zones 4-9. Leave the stems standing over winter, then in spring, once new buds show, cut back to just above the lowest set of new growth; it is slow to leaf out, so be patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salvia yangii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sky blue on amethyst calyxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silvery gray-green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, rounded subshrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28–33 in tall × 36 in–4 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25).
