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.
Phlomis tuberosa ‘Bronze Flamingo’ (P-2206)
Each 11.75
Beloved by birds, butterflies and floral designers, wondrous mauve-pink whorls of clustered hood-like pastel flowers alight staunch upright wine-hued stems in spaced intervals. The long-lasting blooms bestow striking vertical accents plus winter-time intrigue above an attractive basal clump characterized by crinkled, slightly fuzzy deep green leaves with a bronze flush. Undaunted by pesky deer and hot dry spells, this amenable perennial can be added to sunny well-drained mixed borders, cottage gardens and prairie plantings amid cohorts such as Salvia ‘Amethyst’ or Stachys ‘Hummelo’.
Blooms June–August
Size: 2-1/2' – 3' 0" high x 12" – 18" wide.
