Phlomis longifolia is native to the hills of Turkey and Lebanon. It forms a neat evergreen shrub of rich, olive-green leaves. In summer hooded, deep yellow flowers appear on vertical stems.

For best results grow Phlomis longifolia in a well-drained soil in full sun – it's drought tolerant once established. Divide in spring or take softwood cuttings in summer.
