Woolly Jerusalem Sage ' 'Pygmy', Dwarf Jerusalem Sage
Phlomis lanata ‘Pygmy’ (Woolly Jerusalem Sage) is a very compact evergreen shrub with architectural whorls of deep yellow flowers over a long season. Blooming from spring to summer, the showy flowers appear on short stems above the foliage. Additional flushes of bloom may occur throughout the growing season if the stems are promptly cut back after flowering. Reminiscent of sage, the foliage of lance-shaped, deeply-veined, gray-green leaves, up to 1 in. long (2.5 cm), is however not aromatic. Seed heads can be left over winter for their effect. This dwarf Woolly Jerusalem Sage is perfect for containers and small gardens.
