Feel a crash of fresh scent with the remarkable perfume, colour, and foliage of 'Blue Spire'. This upright deciduous shrub boasts deeply cut grey-green foliage that is aromatic in its own right, as well as striking flower spikes that mark the tail end of summer.
The sage-like aroma that fills the air inspires the common name of 'Russian Sage', as a fresh fragrance is released when the foliage is brushed past or crushed - a true marvel on summertime strolls.
Tall silver spires coated in masses of tiny violet-blue tubular flowers emerge from July through to early autumn.
Perovskia love to grow in full sun and prefer quite poor, well-drained soil that is moderately fertile, so is well suited to dry gravel gardens and coastal locations, where they cope well with the salty air and dry breezes.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.
Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant. Reaching a height of 1.2m and spread of 1m.
Perovskias prefer to grow in full sun in well drained, poor soil that’s only moderately fertile.
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
