Planting

Optimize soil drainage for Perovskia altriplicifolia 'CrazyBlue' by ensuring it is well-drained. This robust plant can tolerate various soil types, but thrives in sandy or loamy soil with good drainage. Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 inches (30 cm) with a shovel or garden fork, and add organic matter like compost or aged manure to improve fertility and drainage. Dig a hole that matches the root ball's depth and slightly wider, and space multiple plants about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) apart for proper air circulation. Gently remove the plant from its container, untangling any roots, and place it in the center of the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Carefully backfill the hole, gently firming the soil around the roots to remove air pockets. After planting, water the plant thoroughly to settle the soil.
