Kashmir Sage

Phlomis cashmeriana

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: This large perennial is native to the Himalayas and Kashmir. Large, textured, gray-green foliage and whorls of lavender-pink flowers make this an excellent choice for dry shade gardens.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
