Russian Sage

The Russian sage down the street has full run of the front garden.

 To give you an idea of the size of the plants, the grape vines in the background completely cover the kitchen window.

 But it is a wonderful change from the lawns on the rest of the street.

 

Russian Sage

This garden is down the street from me, and simply incredible.

 There is no front lawn, just some thyme at the road, and then the echinacea and yellow flowers. and Russian sage. (And peppers and tomatoes and the house)

But it is so hard to take a photo of Russian sage by itself...

Russian Sage

I don't know if Russian, or azure, sage

is used in cooking, or if it is strictly an ornamental,

but I love the colour of it,

and the height.
