Phlomis fruticosa (Jerusalem sage[1]) is a species of flowering plant of the Lamiaceae family, native to Albania, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Turkey, and regions of the former Yugoslavia.
It is a small evergreen shrub, up to 1 m (3 ft) tall by 1.5 m (5 ft) wide. The sage-like, aromatic leaves are oval, 2-4 inches long, wrinkled, grey-green with white undersides, and covered with fine hairs. Light yellow, tubular flowers, 3 cm in length, grow in whorls of 20 in short spikes in summer.[2]
The specific epithet fruticosa means "shrubby".[3]
It is popular as an ornamental plant, and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4]
As a garden escape, it has naturalised in parts of South West England.[5]
