Russian sage.

Nikolai Fyodorovich Fyodorov? No...the plant. By far my favorite and most successful planting this Spring. It's held its color all summer. A definite must for any garden enthusiast.

How unnatural it is to ask, ‘Why does that which exists, exist?' and yet how completely natural it is to ask, ‘Why do the living die?‘

Now that - was Fyodorov.
