Phlomis x margaritae Grasses and grass-like summer dryA most pleasing evergreen shrub in the Cistus Nursery garden with rounded silver white leaves to about 3 inches on plants usually about 4 by 4ft. In spring and occasionally throughout the year, small towers of buttery yellow flowers float like pom poms on upright stalks.
