‘Blue Steel’ Russian Sage is a seed introduction from PamAm seed, chosen for its showy violet blue flowers which cover the sturdy stems in late summer. Perovskia ‘Blue Steel’ is well named because of the color of both the stems and flowers. Like all Russian Sages, ‘Blue Steel’ is attractive from the time the foliage first emerges into the bloom season ending in the fall. A dry site tolerant, deer repelling woody perennial in the Mint family.
