I planted Russian sage before we had chickens. These shrubs grow rapidly and only get bushier when the ends are snipped off. It's not a true sage but the scent is fantastic. The three bushes kept our small 4-hen coop smelling great all last year with extra to hang in our closets. Here in zone five it dies back during winter but comes each year.
