Phlomis ‘Rougemont’
Description:
This is a cream variegated sport found by a National Collection holder at Rougemont Hotel, Exeter. Our Plant Guardian reports that this plant struggled for two years in a large pot but is now thriving in the ground. It has a surprisingly high water requirement for a Mediterranean species. New growth often appears blue-grey and lacks variegation, which develops as the plant matures.
