Distinguishing traits. Russian sage is most notably lauded for its flowers and ability to thrive where little else can grow. Small purple flowers bloom from summer into fall, drawing butterflies and hummingbirds into the garden. Leaves are soft and grayish-green, and emit a subtle, sage-like aroma. Russian sage's garden interest persists well past its blooms have faded. Attractive seed heads remain on the stems past the first frost, creating visual delight in stark winter gardens. The unique upright structure of the plant survives into winter, drawing interest with its skeletal shape and silvery stems.
