Perovskia abrotanoides

Perovskia abrotanoides comes from open habitats, such as sunlit meadows and forest margins, that supply abundant light. It performs best in full sun but can also tolerate partial sun, adapting well to a range of light conditions.

Perovskia abrotanoides is highly adaptable to a variety of climate conditions, from scorching summers to chilly winters. Still, it has a preferred temperature range for optimal growth. If temperatures become too high, the plant is susceptible to heat and humidity stress, which can lead to its death. In areas where temperatures approach the lower limit of its cold tolerance, it is important to use insulation measures to protect the plant.

Timing is important for fertilizing Perovskia abrotanoides. Apply fertilizer in early spring and continue monthly until early summer. Fertilizer promotes attractive blooms and supplies energy during both dormant and active growth phases.
