"Phlomis delights with dense whorled clusters of lavender-pink flowers blooming in tiered intervals up the well-branched, burgundy red stems.

Phlomis General Information

Phlomis is a well-behaved member of the mint family. Flower clusters in summer are replaced by attractive seed heads from fall into winter. Combines well with ornamental grasses. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Phlomis Plant Care

"Best grown in rich, fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates light shade. Performs well in sandy loams. Will tolerate some dry soil conditions. Wet soil should be avoided."
