Gardenality.com · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Planting
Plant Russian Sage in garden beds that provide very well-drained soil and full, all day sun. Consistently wet or damp soil can and will cause problems with the roots.
Gardenality.com · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Pruning
I prune the Russian Sage in my garden one time a year in late winter or very early spring; before new growth begins to emerge. I remove about two-thirds of the foliage.
Gardenality.com · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Feeding
I feed Russian Sage one time a year in early spring right when new growth begins to emerge with a mild organic flower food. It likes soils that are acid to neutral pH.

My Russian Sage has had no pest or disease problems. Deer don't like it. Wet feet can be a problem so plant in very well-drained soil.
