Phlomis tuberosa Bronze Flamingo

Phlomis tuberosa ‘Bronze Flamingo’, a unique and architectural perennial, boasts rich ruby-red stems that rise upright and strong through the border, each one encircled with whorls of soft purple flowers. These tiered blooms create a beautiful candelabra effect in early to midsummer, standing out fantastically against the deep green, textured foliage below, adding vertical rhythm and long-lasting interest to any planting scheme.

Exceptionally well-suited to sunny, free-draining positions, ‘Bronze Flamingo’ thrives in well-drained soils and is ideal for the middle of a dry border, where its upright habit provides structure without overwhelming neighbouring plants. Minimal maintenance is required beyond cutting back spent stems after flowering, and it pairs particularly well with ornamental grasses, Echinacea, Salvia, and Nepeta, which complement its colouring while enhancing its relaxed, meadow-inspired character. Hardy and reliable, this unusual perennial is perfect for gardeners seeking bold structure and drought-tolerant beauty.

Supplied in a 1.5 litre container.
