Care and Watering
Phlomis russeliana thrives in full sun and well-drained soil; water sparingly after establishment, letting the topsoil dry between drinks. Avoid waterlogged beds; mulch lightly to retain moisture.
Maintenance
Deadhead after flowering to extend bloom, and trim faded stems in late winter. Divide clumps every 3–4 years to maintain vigor.
Location
Plant in full sun with good air flow. It suits borders and pollinator gardens, and tolerates poorer soils once established.
Tips
Pair with drought-tolerant companions. Pinch young shoots to keep it compact, and mulch in cold regions.
