Phlomis tuberosa 'Bronze Flamingo'
Perfect for dry borders, Mediterranean gardens, and tough spots, this resilient beauty thrives in full sun with minimal water, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly landscapes. Bees and butterflies adore it, and its architectural form adds striking texture to mixed plantings.
Tough yet incredibly ornamental, ‘Bronze Flamingo’ is a true performer—whether planted en masse for impact or as a standout feature in a gravel garden.
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.
