Phlomis Bovei - Moroccan Sage

Phlomis Bovei - Moroccan Sage growing in my garden.

This perennial plant has broad, grey felted, heart shaped leaves, that form a dense and weed suppressing groundcover. However when in flower during summer it will get to be a large plant around 1.5m high. A real statement in the garden. Grow in well-drained soil and in full sun. Frost and drought tolerant.

Makes an excellent cut flower and have a long vase life. Seeds pods can also be used in floral arrangements.

Sow seeds during autumn or winter as they need a cold spell to break their dormancy. For warmer areas, place seeds in an airtight container for 6 weeks before sowing. Sow seeds just under the soil. Water and keep damp but not wet. Seeds will germinate when temperatures are around 20C. Grow plants on until 10cm in height. I would recommend transferring the plants into larger pots to establish and transfer into the garden the following spring.
