Phlomis russeliana (Jerusalem Sage) – 2 litre pot
Phlomis Russelinia is invaluable for a hot sunny border! Feeding all pollinators and very “Yucky” for slugs…… Tall, stiffly upright leafy stems carry several whorls of yellow hooded flowers above a slowly spreading carpet of large, heart-shaped rough mid-green leaves that are evergreen. A very forgiving and tolerant plant, it will grow in many situations and the old stems look great throughout the winter. Also good for dried flower arranging. 3-4 feet tall, slow spread for good ground cover, easy care, easy maintenance, once established pretty bomb proof, likes the sun and dry, but will tolerate all other conditions. Deer resistant apparently.
Often grown just for the ornamental value of the seed heads for flower arranging and vase work, we collect our own seed and leave them to provide homes for overwintering ladybirds and small larvae of pollinators and pollinator helpers.
