DESCRIPTION
Phlomis fruticosa, commonly known as Jerusalem Sage, is an evergreen shrub admired for its striking yellow flowers, aromatic foliage, and hardiness. Native to the Mediterranean, it thrives in dry, sunny conditions and adds texture and color to garden landscapes. Its bright yellow, tubular flowers bloom in whorls from late spring to early summer, attracting bees and butterflies, making it ideal for pollinator-friendly gardens. The grey-green, lance-shaped leaves have a soft, velvety texture and release a pleasant scent when brushed. Phlomis fruticosa prefers full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating poor, rocky conditions and requiring low maintenance. This drought-tolerant plant is perfect for xeriscaping and Mediterranean-style gardens, serving as a focal point in borders or mixed shrub plantings. Its evergreen nature provides year-round structure and interest, and its flowers enhance the garden's ecological value.
