Phlomis italica

One of our favorites, mostly because we get to use one of those cool words–flocccose–to describe the thick hairy leaves. 3 feet tall by 4 feet wide or so with whorled lavender pink summer flowers. From the Balearic Islands. Full sun, not much summer water and sharp drainage. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
