Perovskia atriplicifolia .. whaattttt
RUSSSIIAAANNNN SAGGEEE!!! A pungent minty-smelling, powdery purple plant that attracts butterflies and other pollinators, this plant is not native to the U.S. but you can find it just about anywhere in Chicago as it is a popular ornamental.
I met this plant while traveling the southwest and couch surfing in stranger’s homes.
Know the plants around you and save plants to save the planet!!!
