Phlomis tuberosa - Hardy Jerusalem Sage

(Hardy Jerusalem Sage) A hardy, drought tolerant herbaceous perennial, this fine plant rewards you with tall spikes of rich pink whorled flowers in early to mid Summer. A Salvia relative is native to grasslands of Turkey, Iran and Siberia.

The tall spikes if this plant are stunning. Use it with Salvia guaranitica 'Purple Majesty' and Salvia forsskaolii as a tall backdrop to the border.

A personal note - I tried for two years to successfully germinate seed of this plant. In the Spring of 2009 I finally succeeded, and these strong, well established quarts are the result. I hope you enjoy this plant as much as I do.

Salvia guaranitica 'Purple Majesty'

(Purple Majesty Anise Scented Sage) This highly adaptable, exceedingly long blooming herbaceous perennial begins to show color in early Summer and continues until frost renders it inactive. There are a number of varieties of this dependable and long cultivated species, with the above named cultivar being our current favorite due to it’s stunning large and profuse deep purple blooms and it’s lush, vibrant mint green foliage.

The upright habit and long inflorescence (8“-12”) of this beauty make it an obvious choice for the back of the boarder. Plants should be pruned nearly to the ground in late Winter to maintain a tidy, shapely appearance and to encourage vigorous new growth in the Spring.
