Q: I have an established Russian sage in my front yard. I love its vibrant purple flowers just as much as visiting bees and butterflies do, and I'd like to grow a few more around my backyard patio. Is it possible to propagate my existing plant, to save having to buy new ones?
A: Russian sage (Salvia yangii) is indeed a great plant for pollinators. And, as it's drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, it's easy to look after, too, flowering year after year if conditions are right.
