In a Nutshell:

* Perovskia atriplicifolia, Russian sage, is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant or subshrub that is native to central Asia in an area that includes Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Tibet. Despite its common name, Russian sage is not in the same genus as other Salvias, which are commonly called "sage".

* It requires full sun, but is hardy and cold tolerant. It is also tolerant of dry, chalky soils with a high pH, salt tolerant, and drought tolerant at an established age.

* The small lavender flowers have a sweet flavour and can be eaten in salads or used as a garnish.

* Succeeds in poor soils and, once established, tolerates drought. Tolerant of dry chalk soils, it also succeeds in maritime gardens. more...

* A very ornamental plant. In cultivation people often cut the plants to the ground in the spring in order to encourage strong new growth and plenty of flowers.

* The crushed leaves are very aromatic. more...

* In its native habitat, the flowers are eaten fresh, and the leaves are smoked like tobacco for its euphoriant properties. It is also used where it grows in Pakistan and Balochistan for dysentery. In Eurasian herbalism, this plant has a long history of use as a febrifuge.

* Although research and data is limited, some identified compounds in this plant include thujone, miltirone, oxy-miltirone, tanshinones, camphor, limonene, ?-globulol, trans-caryophyllene, ?-humulene, camphene, ?-pinene, ?-caryophyllene, ?-cadinene, and ?-terpinyl acetate. more...
