Phlomis fruticosa is a mounding, evergreen shrub characterized by its shrubby growth habit, typically reaching heights of two to four feet. Its distinctive foliage consists of wrinkled, gray-green, lanceolate leaves with woolly white undersides, resembling culinary sage. In summer, it produces striking whorls of hooded, bright yellow flowers. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for Mediterranean gardens, borders, and attracting pollinators.
