Phlomis tuberosa 'Bronze Flamingo' is a dramatic Jerusalem Sage with whorled clusters of lavender-pink flowers on dark red stems.
Description:
Phlomis tuberosa 'Bronze Flamingo' is a Jerusalem sage that offers exciting options for the perennial border! Its striking appeal is the arrangement of lavender-pink flowers in whorled clusters at regular intervals along the bronze-red, 36 to 48 inch tall sturdy stems. Flower clusters give way to ornamental seed heads that remain attractive through fall and winter. The deep green crinkled leaves are also attractive. Use in dry sunny borders and meadow gardens for dramatic and vertical appeal. Attracts birds and butterflies. Photo credit Wikipedia.
