Mine came with the house, so I am afraid I don't know which specific varietal they are. But I have a couple HUGE russian sage that are entirely carefree, grow in the worst soil, thrive on neglect, and come back strong every year even in our worst winters (in zone 4a, in MN.) I do not water them except for rainfall, I don't prune them, and I don't fertilize them. All I give them is full sun! I do need to divide one I think, as it is getting a little empty in the middle. But otherwise they have been absolute staples of the garden and have been a delight to see all summer long. If you are looking for worry-free gardening that comes with huge rewards, russian sage is about as perfect a perennial as you can get!
