Not exactly sage nor Russian, this hardy native of Crimea, Afghanistan and Pakistan was named Perennial Plant of the Year for 1995. Has beautiful purple-blue flowers that dry well for dried arrangements. Leaves are pleasantly aromatic with a strong camphor scent works well in potpourris. Excellent beeplant.
