[Wanted] Russian Sage-perovskia atriplicifolia

I'm reading a book about deterring deer, having moved into deer territory. One of the plants that may repel them is an old favorite of mine, Russian sage-perovskia atriplicifolia. I'd LOVE to have some again, and mine suckered like an octopus, and I gave away starts by just cutting off a sucker and digging them up. Wondering if anyone has rowdy plants they'd be willing to dig me some suckers off of. I can pay shipping.

I'm trying to think if I have anything interesting to trade. I do have some tie dye type pattern silk scarves around, left from last time I was selling them. If you look at my profile, the background picture is one of them, if that style is interesting, I can find pictures of some I have.

Hoping someone wants to prune off suckers for me!!

:D

Russian sage? Isn't that another name for tumbleweed?

Russian thistle is tumbleweed.
Russian sage looks like this:



I miss mine, and deer seem to not like highly fragrant things, and that is intensely fragrant. I am hoping to put it around my baby fruit trees (as well as a ring of fence) to protect them.

Talk to me in 5he spring...I have one that gives me starts all the time.

I've got a couple, and they are the most invasive plants in my yard.  They're in clay that has had rain water once in the last six months, I don't know how they survive.  They aren't looking as full this year because they literally don't get watered , but I probably have some suckers I could dig up today (we're going to have our first freeze here tomorrow so I've got to do a lot out in the yard anyway).  I'll post some pictures later today if I can dig some up worthy of shipping, and if you're interested I'd be happy to send them your way.  The biggest problem will be if I can dig through the dry clay to get them.  Normally I torch the runners.

rosemary might work too. I used to grow a lot of rosemary and left in the ground they grow into large bushes but I'm much farther south of where you are.

Janet Reed: Thank you! I will holler at you in spring!

Joshua Bertram: I can't plant right now, we will be in full winter here in the next 2 weeks and they would just die. Can we try it in spring?

Cool! Thank you both! I really miss the amok one in my last yard...

Yeah, sounds good.  Just noticed you wrote this in the spring!  :)

Of course you'll have to post again, or pm me to remind me.

Bump! I'm still hoping people have excess! I really think it will deter the deer due to it's heavy fragrance. I'm putting in a garden on the property, and want to get at least some of the produce for myself :)
I put out sweet potatoes a couple years ago. Mistake.... Eaten to the ground.

I would buy a few as well if people have some to sell. Or I would be happy to trade Comfrey root for some.
