Phlomis fruticosa 'Miss Grace' (Compact Gray Jerusalem Sage)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-10, at least 36" tall Origin: Mediterranean Europe

Open House/Web-Only! (aka: Phlomis fruticosa 'Compact Grey') We finally properly named this wonderful deer-resistant form of Phlomis fruticosa that has been parading around the country as Phlomis 'Compact Grey'. We see nothing compact about it, since it forms a 3' tall x 6' wide clump of white, fuzzy, upright stems adorned with 7" long, fuzzy, evergreen leaves (4" in typical Phlomis fruticosa) with wavy edges. Phlomis 'Miss Grace' is adorned, starting in late May and continuing throughout the summer, with large whorls of bright yellow flowers on the terminal branches as well as adjacent axils (not to be confused with the axils of evil). Crush the leaves for a unique resinous fragrance. Phlomis 'Miss Grace' is very easy to grow if your soils are well-drained. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
