Well, maybe I went too far in provoking the Russians the other day by challenging them to go up against our Billy Mitchell in Pac-Man. A Russian Sage we’d planted in our front yard is trying to take over the front yard. We spent half an hour prying out the roots of the main plant, but we know it’s just plotting its revenge under the gravel, having sent out sleeper roots to later come back. A word of advice…if you are contemplating planting a Russian Sage, don’t do it unless you want your yard (and possibly your neighbor’s) to be filled with Russian Sage.
