Perovskia -- Russian Sage (one of Dave's Top 21 Favorites)

Another case of "saved by the smell." Try this aromatic, semiwoody perennial as a mid-height accent in the border. Stands up to summer heat while continuing a long-blooming, airy flower display over silvery-gray foliage from late summer through fall. Group several plants together for best effect.
