Phlomis russeliana is undoubtedly a landscaping gem, better known as Turkish Sage. Its exceptional perennial structure makes it quite the crowd-pleaser, marrying architectural appeal with robust functionality. Standing proud at up to three feet tall, it steals the show with unique tiers of soft, yellow hooded flowers that emerge gracefully along upright stems in the heat of the summer. The heart-shaped, sage-green leaves with a velvety touch provide a contrasting backdrop, enhancing the visual charm. With a low water requirement, thanks to its notable drought-tolerance, this plant thrives in full sun to partial shade. It's a magnet for bees and butterflies, integrating a touch of bustling wildlife into your outdoor sanctuary. Unique in its ability to maintain an appealing essence even after its blooming fades, Turkish Sage delivers a dash of winter interest to any landscape.
