Growing and Using Russian Sage in Your Garden

Incorporating Russian sage into your planting scheme is easy. Choose a sunny spot with plenty of airflow, and plant en masse for a dramatic effect, or mix with companion plants like grasses, roses, and summer perennials for a textured look. Russian sage pairs beautifully with other dry-loving species such as Phlomis russeliana (Turkish Sage), adding contrast with its bold whorls of yellow flowers and architectural stems.

Not only is Russian sage deer- and rabbit-resistant, but its aromatic foliage makes it a resilient choice where other plants struggle. Its flowers attract bees and butterflies, increasing biodiversity in your backyard oasis. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage a second flush of colour, or leave them standing for winter interest and structure.
