Zephyr Compact Blue Perovskia

Zephyr™ Compact Blue is Syngenta’s compact Russian sage selection, listed under product code 70088337. Syngenta describes its bushy, mounding form with soft-blue summer flowers and gives a mature size of 12–18 inches tall and wide. ## Garden Use Use Zephyr Compact Blue in small and medium containers or sunny border plantings where a compact, branched form fits well. Syngenta describes the selection as a heat lover and pollinator-friendly, with flowers beginning in late spring and continuing through summer. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun and well-drained soil. North Carolina State Extension’s Russian sage profile recommends occasional dry conditions and warns against poorly drained or wet soil; Syngenta’s selection page likewise describes Zephyr as drought tolerant. ## Maintenance Remove old stems in early spring as new growth appears. Keep newly planted specimens watered while they establish, then check container soil during hot weather and water when it begins to dry.
