Russian sage is a statuesque perennial with violet-blue flowers. Gardeners can enjoy the fragrant foliage, and pollinators will relish the nectar-rich blooms in late summer. It is often seen in Mediterranean or drier gardens, but if you only have a small growing space, can Russian sage grow happily in pots?
The answer is yes. You can grow Russian sage in containers on a deck, patio, porch, or balcony. The plant is suitable for US hardiness zones 5-9, but will need protection during winter in colder, northern container gardens when growing in a pot.
