Description

8-10" tall x 12-15" wide. A fabulously beautiful dwarf Jerusalem Sage, Phlomis angustissima blooms in late spring with numerous spikes of bright golden-yellow flowers. The foliage, fuzzy and gray-green, grows on a small, compact plant. Slow to propagate, we've been working on this rare plant for many years, its a long lived and trouble-free grower that thrives in the Western US. Limited availability, so order early.

Planting Care

Phlomis (Jeruselum Sage) - a huge genus of sage-like plants that range from Europe across Asia into China. Almost completely resistant to browsing deer and rabbits.

Preferred growing conditions

Plant in most soil types including clay. Generally, they prefer to be planted in a full sun location. Phlomis cashmeriana is an exception and does well in part to full dappled shade.
Mulch with common mulching materials except of moisture climates where plants should remain unmulched.
Water regularly the first growing season to establish the plant. Thereafter, weekly or bi-weekly deep watering is all this plant needs.
Deadheading is will not bring the plants back into flower, but keeps the attractive foliage looking tidy. Cut tall flowering stems where they emerge from the mound of low foliage.
Fertilize lightly in the fall with a half and half blend of Yum Yum Mix and good quality compost.

Special comments

Phlomis seed heads are ornamental and provide winter interest; leave standing over the winter and cut off in early to mid-spring along with the old foliage.
Many species can be divided in mid-spring if more plants are needed.
These are low care perennials that don't like rich soil or a lot of water; this makes the plants leggy and prone to flopping.
