Flowering occurs in summer and autumn, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific name<\/strong>: <em>Perovskia atriplicifolia<\/em><br \/><strong>Common names<\/strong>: Russian sage, Perovskia, Russian Sage<br \/><strong>Fam\u00edlia<\/strong>: <em>Lamiaceae<\/em><br \/><strong>Origin<\/strong>: Central Asia (Afghanistan, Tibet, Iran)<br \/><strong>Climate<\/strong>: Dry subtropical, semi-arid<br \/><strong>Category<\/strong>: Outdoor plant<br \/><strong>Approximate height<\/strong>: 60cm<br \/><strong>Di\u00e2metro vaso<\/strong>: 19cm<\/p>\n<p><strong>CUIDADOS<\/strong><br \/><strong>Light<\/strong>: Prefers full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sun daily for abundant flowering. In very hot climates, it can tolerate some partial shade.<br \/><strong>Temperature<\/strong>: Adapted to hot, dry climates; tolerates high temperatures and light frosts. In regions with harsh winters, it may be necessary to protect the plant.<br \/><strong>Watering<\/strong>: Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant. During the active growth period, water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging.<br \/><strong>Humidity<\/strong>: It doesn\u2019t need moist soils or high air humidity to thrive\u2014quite the opposite.<br \/><strong>Fertilisation<\/strong>: Needs minimal fertilisation. Excess nutrients can result in excessive growth and reduced flowering. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring, if needed.<br \/><strong>Pruning<\/strong>: Prune hard in late winter or early spring, cutting stems back to about 10 cm from the ground, to encourage vigorous new growth and more abundant flowering.<br \/><strong>Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial<br \/><strong>Soil<\/strong>: Well-drained substrate, slightly alkaline, low in organic matter. Prefers sandy or sandy-loam soils and dry conditions.<br \/><strong>Not pet-friendly<\/strong>: The leaves and flowers are toxic if ingested by pets.<br \/><strong>Fun fact<\/strong>: Despite its common name, <em>Perovskia atriplicifolia<\/em> does not belong to the Salvia genus. It was reclassified in 2004 into the Salvia genus under the scientific name <em>Salvia yangii<\/em>, but it is still widely known as <em>Perovskia atriplicifolia<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>WARNING!
