Phlomis fruticosa South America this fine southern native isPhlomis fruticosa is a plant we wouldn't garden without. For year round interest it's hard to beat this felt like, grey leaved, drought loving perennial sub shrub from the Transcaucasia (Italy west to Georgia). The dense 30" tall x 5' wide clumps of evergreen (or should I say ever grey) finger shaped, heavily textured foliage provide a nice foil for the whorls of yellow, snapdragon like flowers that top the plant in late April May.
