The Perovskia ?Little Spire Sage?, Perovskia atriplicifolia, is an exciting new variety to the Sage family. Growing only 3? high with a plant spread of 12-18?, it is one that should not be missed. The lavender-purple flowers make a great contrast with its silvery, fragrant foliage. Deadhead for repeat bloom time. ?Little Spire? should be grown in a full sun and is drought tolerant and will tolerate dry soil. It does need a well-drained area. ?Little Spire? looks great anywhere in the garden. It is resistant to deer, attracts butterflies, an excellent choice for hot, dry gardens, and has attractive winter foliage.
