Description

Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Blue Jean Baby' has bright lavender blue blooms that are held in smokey purple calyxes. This cultivar is shorter than the species and one of the first Perovskia to flower, beginning in midsummer. Perovskia 'Blue Jean Baby' is a bushy, semi-woody perennial that is vigorous and resists flopping.

Although Perovskia is NOT an American native, it is a deer resistant plant that will grow easily in most of the country and will attract pollinators.

Also referred to as Russian Sage, Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Blue Jean Baby' prefers full sun and average to dry, well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant and suitable for coastal planting. Allow the woody stems to remain over the winter and trim back in spring after new leaves start to appear.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
