Russian Sage Little Spire Pint

Russian Sage 'Little Spire' (Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Little Spire') is a compact, airy perennial that delivers clouds of silvery-blue flower spikes above fragrant grayish-green foliage from late summer into fall. All the beauty and drought tolerance of classic Russian Sage in a tidier, more manageable size — perfect for borders, containers, and patio plantings. A superb lavender alternative for colder climates.

Why Gardeners Choose Russian Sage 'Little Spire'

• Long late-season bloom: Silvery-blue spikes from late summer through fall — a valuable time when many perennials are winding down.
• Compact habit: Reaches 2–3 feet tall — tidier than standard Russian Sage and better suited to smaller spaces and containers.
• Fragrant foliage: Aromatic gray-green leaves add sensory interest even between bloom cycles.
• Drought tolerant: Very low water needs once established — thrives in hot, dry conditions.
• Pollinator friendly: Attracts butterflies and bees consistently through its bloom season.
• Lavender alternative: A cold-hardier substitute with similar silver-blue aesthetics.
