Here's a hardier Phlomis species that isn't quite as demanding of perfect drainage. It's a relatively tall plant with toothed green leaves that are deciduous in all climates. The large whorled summer flowers are lavender to pink. And like its species name suggests, the roots have small, rounded well-spaced tubers or nodules on them.; Larry Hodgson, Perennials for Every Purpose Best Selling 4th Edition Now Available!
