Description

Perovskia 'Blue Spire' is an award-winning variety of Russian Sage. In late summer to early autumn, this small, bushy shrub forms pretty violet-blue flowers on upright stems. Aromatic leaves take on attractive shades of silvery green.

Ideal for pollinator gardens, Perovskia 'Blue Spire' makes a great addition to mixed borders or planted alongside paths, reaching an approx. height and spread of 1 x 1.2 metres.

AKA Salvia 'Blue Spire'

Planting Steps

1Preparation

  • Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
  • Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
  • Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
  • To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

  • Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
  • Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
  • Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
  • Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

  • Water generously around the base of the plant.
  • If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
