Lampwickplant
Phlomis lychnitis
Lampwickplant is a sun-loving Mediterranean perennial with woolly, silver-grey foliage and bright yellow flowers that pollinators adore. It thrives in poor, well-drained soils and full sun, making it an excellent choice for dry gardens or rock gardens. Avoid overwatering and rich soils, as these can cause lush but weak growth and reduce its natural resilience.
