Phlomis russeliana is a tall and stately Jerusalem sage with mounds of fuzzy foliage and stems with clusters of buttery yellow flowers.
Description:
Phlomis russeliana is a tall and stately Jerusalem sage endemic to Turkey. From the mint family, it sports mounds of fuzzy foliage that give rise to four foot spikes of buttery yellow flowers held at regular intervals along the stems. When the breeze catches the flowers in full bloom the effect is somewhat psychedelic! Flowers can occur from late spring through to autumn, but most generously in early summer. Interesting seedheads can be left during the winter to catch the frost.
