Detailed Information
Despite its common name, Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) is **not native to Russia**.
It is **native to the semi-desert regions of Central Asia and the Himalayas, specifically countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Tibet, and parts of Western China.**
The misleading common name likely arose because the plant’s silvery foliage and upright growth habit resembled some species of sage found in Russia.
