Perovskia

Perovskia reliably brings a touch of sunny steppes to the garden while demanding almost no maintenance. These sparsely branched subshrubs with grayish aromatic leaves and noticeably downy shoots originate from the stony regions spanning from Afghanistan to Tibet. They are accustomed to open plains full of sun, so they will thrive most in similar spots in your garden. Thanks to their origin, perovskia absolutely loves full sun and well-drained, rather poor soil. It perfectly complements sunny beds and works excellently as a companion to other drought-tolerant perennials, creating beautiful contrasts. During the summer, it also delights with a flood of tiny flowers that attract plenty of bees and other pollinators to the garden.
