Phlomis Tuberosa, also known as Jerusalem Sage, is a tuberous-rooted perennial of the mint family. This plant grows best in full sun but may tolerate some shade. They grow best in well-draining soils and are also drought tolerant. Tiny, tubular, pink, lavender flowers in thick whorled clusters bloom at intervals up long stems. Jerusalem sage is a profuse bloomer from late Spring through Summer. The flowers will turn into seed pods after blooming, and the birds will gladly eat the seed. Butterflies and Bees enjoy the nectar these tiny flowers produce and will frequent the flowers daily. These flowers brighten up the garden nicely due to their height. You can layer other flowers in front of them that are more compact. They can also be grown in containers. A great feature of these plants is that they are easy to care for, making them the perfect plant for beginning gardeners! You don’t want to miss out on this plant find, they will surely add a nice pop of color to any garden!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!! ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME. DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
