Phlomoides tuberosa 'Amazone'

Jerusalem sage (syn. Phlomis tuberosa Amazone)

Product Image
In July and August, whorls of tubular, lilac flowers appear at intervals like fluffy beads, on erect stems held high above large, downy leaves. Even after the flowers fade, this plant retains a dramatic presence in the border, with architectural seedheads that look wonderful among late-flowering perennials and grasses. This is a versatile, robust perennial that can cope with drought and is equally at home as part of a cottage garden scheme or among silver leaved plants and ornamental grasses.

How to care for Phlomoides tuberosa Amazone:

In mid-spring shorten any frost-damaged stems, cutting back to just above a healthy bud. Remove any weak or diseased shoots, cutting cleanly back to the base.
