Turkish sage, Phlomis russeliana

is one of the plants in my garden that I wouldn't garden without. For year-round interest it's hard to beat this felt-like, grey-leaved, drought-loving perennial/sub-shrub, to 30" tall x 5' wide. The dense clumps of evergreen (or should I say ever-grey) finger-shaped, heavily-textured foliage provide a nice foil for the whorls of yellow, snapdragon-like flowers that top the plant in late spring.

Bumbel bees love the flowers!!

Phlomis will produce a sporadic repeat flowering in late summer. Jerusalem sage is quite durable, and easy to grow, but prefers a well-drained site.

Grown in gardens for over 400 years, Phlomis is a handsome Mediterranean species and a popular choice when a bold grey shrub is wanted for a warm sunny border.

Nice for cutting. Drought tolerant once established. Dried spend flower stalks can be used in flower arrangement’s. Frost hardy down to - 20C

This auction is for 1 potted plant like picture hand holding pot.

Have a look at my other auctions with special and rare plants. Yes I do combine freight, just ask for a quote.

I do combine freight cost, so please ask for a quote you don't have to pay freight for every single plant if you buy more than 1. Its just difficult to make a flat rate as water lilies are so much heavier than normal potted plants and it would be unfair to charge a "heavy" rate for every customer.
