Russian Sage wilting

[MaryannDige]

I divided my russian sage recently, just like I was supposed to, it was end of may, gut this is still spring in the poconos of pennsylvania. Now my plants look a bit wilted and I am worried, do you think they will take.

It's normal for a transplant to wilt down. If you can keep it damp, but not soggy, and give it shade for a week or so, I'm sure your Russian Sage will come back.
Even though it is spring in the Poconos, the sage needs time to settle into its new spot. Be patient and it will recover.

I agree that patience is your best bet right now. Newly divided plants frequently look a bit scruffy/dicey for awhile until they reestablish themselves. And Russian Sage is a pretty tough customer, so should come back fine.

sharing a little transplanting info on 'perovskite' I just love the fragrance of these plants..
