Golden Jerusalem Sage
Phlomis
Jerusalem Sage
This genus belongs to the Mint family and includes about 100 perennials as well as subshrubs from the Mediterranean and western Asia. Drought resistant and hardy, many of the species will thrive in warm sunny sites and dry woodland edges. Ornamental whorls of purple, pink or yellow blooms open in the summer, providing long-lasting stems and flower clusters for fresh and dried decoration in the garden or kitchen.

Some say this hearty and handsome Mediterranean denizen is peerless among the genus. We tend to agree. Forging a pyramidal evergreen guise, Phlomis aurea hosts oh-so-soft, woolly gray-green stems plus hefty, long-petioled foliage, which emerges with glowing golden hues, and later bolsters spectacular columns of whorled, helmet-like creamy yellow flowers. Tough-as-nails Golden Jerusalem Sage entices bees and butterflies, endures dry, lean haunts and champions year-round pomp in water-thrifty plantings, coastal gardens, mixed borders and containers, where it begs sunshine galore, superb drainage and an early spring cut back.
