Phlomis russeliana

I have only ever seen these on gardening programs, never for sale. I think they're quaint with the flowers a way apart on the stem.

Oh I do like these.

I think I first saw them on BBC Gardener's World where Monty Don had them planted in a bog garden. Would that seem the right planting place for them?

Klahanie, my memory is playing tricks, yet again!!

Well, I wasn't expecting that comment! Thanks so much ... :o))

Rather big for my small garden, big, bold and dramatic though.

I'm liking the unusualness, as it's not something I've seen. Very architectural as you say.

It's an attractive plant, the flowers are really unusual, as I mentioned. It's odd that you don't get the comments on your spectacular roses, they are envy inducing! :-)
