This deciduous perennial phlomis has large, arrow-shaped, felty leaves of gray-green that form an attractive clump to 18" wide. In late spring, the clumps give rise to 40" stalks interspersed every few inches with flower heads resembling battered, yellow golf balls...a great bold textured perennial.

Bloomed in its third summer, but so worth the wait. After the yellow flower petals fade away, the stems and whorls should be left to provide sculptural texture to the garden. Then in winter when it snows, each brown whorl sports a cute cap of snow and this is when I enjoy the plant the most. Of course, in a NH winter, there's not much else to enjoy, but still . . .
Visitors to the garden really exclaim over this unusual plant, so there's another reason to grow it.
