Description
Phlomoides tuberosa 'Amazone'
Height x Spread: 150cm x 60cm
This pink-flowered form of Jerusalem Sage is a robust clump-forming perennial with lance-shaped green leaves. The light pink flowers form attractive whorls on tall upright stems during the summer.
The seed heads provide architectural interest once flowering has finished and look great frosted. It is perfect for providing colour in situations which require drought tolerant plants and also coastal areas where the air is laden with salt. Sun or partially shady areas with a well-drained soil are best for this perennial.
