Little Spire Perovskia is a live 4-inch plant that builds a narrow column of silvery, aromatic gray-green foliage, then hazes over with tiny dark purple-blue flowers from summer into early autumn. Salvia yangii 'Little Spire' stays far shorter and tighter than standard Russian sage.

That compactness is the point: all of the smoky blue-violet effect, none of the flopping. Use it in a hot, lean, sharply drained bed, along a driveway, in a gravel garden, or as a repeating vertical down a border. It takes drought, heat and city grit once established, deer and rabbits ignore it, and brushing past the stems releases the scent. Cut it hard in late winter and skip the fertilizer.

Fun fact: Russian sage is neither. It honors a Russian general, V. A. Perovski, and DNA has since moved the genus into Salvia — so it is now, officially, a sage after all.

Ships rooted, established, and guaranteed to arrive healthy.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
