I planted Russian sage as an ornamental last fall. It wintered over
just fine and began new growth in the spring. When it got to about
12-14" tall, the tips curl and die. The bottom portion of the plants
remain green, but the plants haven't grown a bit since. They are
planted in full sun and get "adequate" water. The other plants in the
bed are growing ok. Anyone have any suggestions?

Russian sage likes it hot, and dry. In poor soil. Did you loosen the
rootball before you planted it? And what is growing near it? In fact, most
perennials like it in poor soil. The most beautiful and healthy and upright
flowers are found along side the highway in the gravel and scree........
