Jerusalem Sage | Phlomis fruticosa
Jerusalem Sage is a stunning evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean, prized for its silvery-green, fuzzy leaves and whorls of bright yellow, tubular flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. Its bold texture and color make it a striking focal point in water-wise gardens, borders, and Mediterranean-style landscapes. This hardy, drought-tolerant plant offers year-round interest, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators while being highly deer-resistant.
