{"product_id":"russian-sage-little-spire","title":"Russian Sage ‘Little Spire’","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAll the magic of Russian Sage in a compact, garden-friendly package — 'Little Spire' delivers the same breathtaking cloud of silvery stems and violet-blue flower spikes that has made Russian Sage one of the most beloved perennials in the world, in a tighter, more controlled form that fits beautifully into a wider range of garden spaces. From midsummer through fall, 'Little Spire' is absolutely alive with slender, branching spikes of tiny lavender-blue flowers that create an ethereal, hazy effect unlike anything else in the late-season garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe aromatic, finely cut silver-gray foliage is just as ornamental as the blooms themselves, providing months of attractive texture and softness that ties together bolder neighboring plants with effortless grace. 'Little Spire' is a designer's dream — equally stunning when massed as a flowing border planting, tucked into a xeriscape garden, or used as an airy, textural contrast alongside bold-leaved perennials and ornamental grasses. And like all Russian sages, it is extraordinarily tough — thriving in heat, drought, and poor soils while remaining completely unbothered by deer, rabbits, or most pests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStunning violet-blue flower spikes create an ethereal hazy effect from midsummer through fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompact, upright habit — a tidier alternative to standard Russian Sage without sacrificing impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHighly ornamental aromatic silver-gray foliage attractive all season long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eExceptional heat, drought, and poor soil tolerance once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds in extraordinary numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDeer and rabbit resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOutstanding in mass plantings, borders, xeriscapes, and cottage gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, echinacea, rudbeckia, and sedums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFour-season interest — silvery stems remain attractive through winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The GreenHouse","offers":[{"title":"#1","offer_id":42327033217252,"sku":"21596A","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/5352\/files\/russian_sage_little_spire.jpg?v=1780078104","url":"https:\/\/www.thegreenhousepnw.com\/products\/russian-sage-little-spire","provider":"The Greenhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
