Salvia yangii, commonly known as Russian Sage (formerly Perovskia atriplicifolia), is a hardy perennial native to the dry steppes and hillsides of central and southwestern Asia. Celebrated for its airy texture and long bloom period, it produces tube-shaped flowers from mid-summer straight into autumn. The blossoms set against silvery aromatic foliage on upright, whitish stems, creating a striking contrast in the landscape. As the plant sways in the breeze, its fragrant leaves emit a pleasant, subtle sage scent.
