*RETAIL – Phlomis aurea

Of the entire genus of mostly wooly-leaved, mint family perennials, this is among the finest. Native to the dry Mediterranean, this 4 ft pyramidal, evergreen shrub holds its furry, golden leaves upright, making a particularly lovely texture among lavenders and olives in our dry garden. Creamy yellow flowers on rounded florets, set one over the other, add interest in spring and summer. A plant for bright light and lean soil. Loves a bit of summer drought and temperatures that do not fall below the realm of 10F, lower USDA zone 8, though some have been successful in zone 7. Great container plant. Makes you look younger, too.
