Overview
Jerusalem Sage (Phlomis fruticosa) is a striking species of flowering semi-evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean. It has clusters of yellow-green showy flowers during the summer and creamy grey-green textured leaves. It can reach up to 4 feet in height and is perfect for summer borders and containers. Its long flowering period makes it a good companion to other flowers like roses and lavender. Jerusalem Sage is drought-tolerant and easy to care for, requiring very little maintenance after initial establishment. It can thrive in a wide range of soil conditions and is adaptable to full sun and partial shade locations. Pruning helps keep its growth in check and its foliage neat and tidy.
