Planting Instructions:

  • - Best planted in spring or fall for optimal root establishment
  • - Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for mature growth and good air circulation

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5
  • - Prefers well-drained soil, tolerates poor or rocky soils

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water deeply when first planted, allowing the soil to dry between waterings
  • - Once established, Perovskia is highly drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Minimal fertilizing is needed; apply a light, balanced fertilizer in early spring if soil is poor
  • - Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to leggy growth

Pruning and Training:

  • - Cut back stems to about 6 inches in early spring to promote new growth and maintain compact form
  • - Prune spent flowers in late summer to encourage further blooming

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Perovskia is generally pest-free and deer-resistant
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues, though it’s highly disease-resistant

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from mid-summer through fall with tall spikes of lavender-blue flowers

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, tolerates heat, drought, and poor soil conditions once established

  • - Echinacea: Complements Perovskia with its bright, daisy-like flowers and pollinator appeal
  • - Salvia: Provides additional vertical interest with spikes of blue or purple flowers
  • - Coreopsis: Offers a continuous display of yellow blooms that contrast beautifully with Perovskia’s lavender hues
