Perovskia is a plant that forms a tuft up to 130-150 cm high,
and in width they extend to 100 - 140 cm. The petals are elliptical,
with a strongly serrated periphery and not very large - their maximum dimensions are: length 5 cm and width 3 cm.
They are hairy and highly aromatic. When crushed, they emit a delicate aroma, a mixture of sage and lavender. They are colored gray-green with a silvery tint.
It blooms with small blue-violet flowers, forming loose panicles up to 30 cm long.
The flowering period is long. It starts in mid-summer and continues throughout the fall.
To develop its wonderful decorativeness, the plant requires intense light. When growing in partial shade, the stems sprout and lie down, and the tuft looks loose.
It withstands cold, but it will not survive the extremely low winter temperatures in our country without additional protection of the rhizome.
