Phlomis russeliana
Commonly known as Turkish Sage, Phlomis russeliana bears whorls of hooded yellow flowers during the late spring to early autumn.
A superb perennial for coastal gardens, it flourishes in the full sun and well-drained soils and will create good ground cover when planted en masse. If left the flowers stems provide good winter structure.

How to grow
Performs best in full sun in moderately fertile to humus fertile, free-draining soil, but adaptable to a variety of conditions. Drought, heat, coast and frost tolerant once established. Flower spires may be left over winter for their interesting seedheads. In mid-spring shorten any damaged or weak stems, cutting back to just above the base.
