Interesting, named by a Russian, but doesn't grow there!

It should grow here if it can grow in the Vale of Evesham.

For those that have never heard of this herb before which means ME, here is an interesting link to a Telegraph article about the Russian Sage.

Thank you Moscow wolf,

Im trying to grow all self seeding perrenials/annuals which are drought tolerant and hardy!!! basically its trial and error! Rolling Eyes
