Phlomis tuberosa 'Amazone' - 2026

Phlomis tuberosa ‘Amazone’ is an eye-catching perennial valued for its architectural form and long-lasting flower display. It produces whorls of soft pink, tubular flowers in late spring and early summer, rising above large, grey-green foliage that adds texture and structure to the garden. The flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators, while the distinctive seed heads remain decorative well into winter. Its tall, upright habit makes it ideal for borders, naturalistic plantings, or as a focal point in perennial gardens.

Thriving in well-drained soil, this hardy perennial prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. Suited to the UK climate, it is low-maintenance, requiring only cutting back of old stems after flowering to encourage fresh spring growth. Phlomis tuberosa ‘Amazone’ combines ornamental foliage, long-lasting colour, and ecological value, making it a versatile and reliable choice for adding both structure and seasonal interest to gardens.
