Description
An herbaceous perennial with an upright, bushy habit. Large, toothed, green leaves are in pairs up strong, semi-woody, ruby-red stems. Whorls of distinctly hooded, pink flowers appear up the stems in summer through autumn.
Not as fussy about perfect drainage as other Phlomis species. Few pests or diseases, although slugs and snails may be a problem. Drought tolerant. Deer and rabbit resistant. Attracts bees and hummingbirds.
