Group of evergreen Mediterranean shrubs and perennials with large, soft, leaves that display striking whorls of yellow or lilac flowers on long stems.

Examples: Jerusalem sage (P. fruticosa, 3-4’ x 3-4’) is the most commonly planted phlomis. P. italica (3-4’ x 5-6’) blooms with lilac-pink flowers. P. lanata (2-3’ x 3-4’) and P. purpurea (4-6’ x 4-6’) have purple-pink flowers from spring to fall. P. russeliana (2-3’ x 2’) provides a low, clumping form that spreads by rhizomes.
