Russian Sage leaves browning, falling off
Comments (7)It's so late in the season, I would expect some leaf drop. Also those poor plants have probably been in pots sitting around at Lowes for many months and a few weeks for you. That in itself would cause some stress and more leaf drop. Unless the plants look like they're croaking completely, I doubt you have anything to worry about. Get them in the ground so they have some time to establish themselves before winter - assuming you are in a colder climate. You don't give any info about where you're at.

Comments (5)One opinion. Sorry, I lost the link. ''But the big care concern with these plants is pruning, so let me break down the subject into the why, when, and how of pruning: The "Why" Behind Pruning Russian Sage: Some gardeners choose to prune Russian sage annually. The argument for pruning is that the plant will grow to be bushier as a result of this care. At the very least, cut off any dead branches to keep this perennial tidy. One reason why spring is the best time to prune (as opposed to trimming in fall) is that leaving the silver branches adds interest to the winter landscape.'' Here is another: Russian Sage Plants – How To Grow And Care For Russian Sage - ""While allowing the stems and seed pods to remain in the garden until spring creates winter interest, if you prefer a tidier appearance, you can cut the stems back to a foot above the ground. Spring and summer care for Russian sage consists mainly of pruning. When new spring growth emerges, cut the old stems back to just above the lowest set of leaves. If the plant begins to spread open or sprawl in late spring or summer, shear off the top one-third of the stems to encourage upright growth. Remove the top half of the stems if the plant stops blooming in summer. This encourages new growth and a fresh flush of flowers."...See MoreRestoration Hardware Reclaimed Russian Oak dining table

Comments (21)I’ll eat young leaves in salads and on sandwiches. The older leaves sweeten up after 4-5 frosts and is steamed like spinach or used in soups. The plant produces sugar as an antifreeze which is why store bought kale lacks the tastiness I get from mine. Even limp plants hit by freezes will plump back up after a day or two in the 40s. tj...See Morefortyseven_gw
