Phlomis fruticosa (Jerusalem Sage)

Grown in gardens for over 400 years, Phlomis fruticosa is a handsome Mediterranean species and a popular choice when a bold grey shrub is wanted for a warm sunny border. It is reliably hardy in all but the coldest gardens, although hard frost can cause passing damage to the shoot tips. Robust and impressive in well-drained positions, especially in limy soils, it can become leggy and bare at the base unless trimmed annually. As a younger plant, it does best in fertile ground, and benefits from propagating every few years.
