Jerusalem Sage

Jerusalem Sage | Phlomis fruticosa

Jerusalem Sage is a stunning evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean, prized for its silvery-green, fuzzy leaves and whorls of bright yellow, tubular flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. Its bold texture and color make it a striking focal point in water-wise gardens, borders, and Mediterranean-style landscapes. This hardy, drought-tolerant plant offers year-round interest, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators while being highly deer-resistant.

Growing Jerusalem Sage

• Light: Full sun for best flowering and compact growth.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining sandy, loamy, or rocky soil.

• Water: Low water needs once established; occasional deep watering during extended droughts.

• Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering to encourage a tidy, rounded shape and to promote additional blooms.

• Hardiness: USDA zones 8–10; tolerates heat, wind, and poor soil.

• Wildlife: Nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators; deer and rabbit resistant.
