Phlomis viscosa

This totally tough western Syria native resists deer, handles droughty conditions and stays pretty through it all. Butterfly and bee approved large, 3” clusters of yellow flowers form pom-pom like fuzzy balls along branch tips late Spring through early Summer. Velvety, heart-shaped leaves form a rosette that slowly spreads.  To  3.5’ tall and 4-5’ wide. Leave the spent seed heads on the plant to provide some Winter interest!
