Growing Phlomis

Phlomis Russeliana (Turkish Sage)

Phlomis Russeliana.⁠
​Or as it's better known here 'Poodle Tails'.
It just reminds me of those fancy groomed French Poodles. I need easy to remember names for flowers as sometimes latin names can be tricky...⁠
Whatever you call it, it's still a cracking cut flower. ⁠ 

• Long, long stems, often with nice curves to make a large arrangement interesting⁠
• Soft lemony yellow, a colour I'm lacking amongst the pinks, white & blues typical of June⁠
• And if I don't use it before the bees pollinate the flowers, the lemon flowers drop to leave green whorls. It dries well for later in the year⁠ too.

What silly alternative names do you have for your flowers?
