Phlomis Fruticosa (Jerusalem Sage)

Garden Centre > Plants > Shrubs > J

Position: full sun
Soil: any fertile, well-drained soil
Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June and July
Hardiness: fully hardy (borderline)
In June and July, distinctive whorls of hooded, golden yellow flowers are strung like beads at intervals above sage-like, aromatic, grey-green leaves. This spreading evergreen shrub forms a neat mound and even after the flowers fade, it retains a dramatic presence in the border, with architectural seedheads that look wonderful among late-flowering perennials and grasses. Try it towards the middle of a sunny mixed or herbaceous border, or as part of a scheme with silver-leaved plants.Garden care: In mid-spring shorten any frost-damaged stems, cutting back to just above a healthy bud. Remove any weak or diseased shoots, cutting cleanly back to the base.
