Phlomis tuberosa is a drought tolerant, herbaceous perennial with a slow, creeping root stock which produces tubers at the bottom of it's root. Arrow shaped, green leaves with serrated edges running to a point form a nice clump of foliage from which tall, upright flower spikes are produced, these are topped with whorls of purple-pink flowers.

Leave the flower heads for winter interest and a source of shelter for insects, the flowers are very attractive to pollinators and insects.
