Jerusalem Sage (Phlomis fruticosa) is a standout perennial for any Austin landscape looking for “rugged elegance.” While it looks delicate with its unique, stacked whorls of buttery yellow blooms, this plant is incredibly tough and thrives in the intense Central Texas heat.

Why we love Jerusalem Sage at the nursery:

• Drought Tolerant: Once established, it requires very little supplemental water, making it perfect for xeriscaping.

• Unique Texture: The fuzzy, silver-green foliage provides a beautiful contrast to darker green shrubs.

• Pollinator Friendly: It’s a magnet for bees and butterflies.

• Deer Resistant: Its textured leaves make it a less attractive snack for local wildlife. *Reminder deer resistant is not deer proof*

Growing Stats:

• Light: Prefers full sun

• Size: 3′ x 3-4′

• Soil: Needs well-drained soil (avoid “wet feet”)

Jerusalem Sage is an excellent low maintenance, low mounding plant for your landscape.  Plant with the vibrant ‘Mystic Spires’ Salvia for a colorful combination.
