Lampwickplant
Also known as: White woolly jerusalem sage
You're most likely to see lampwickplant (Phlomis lychnitis) during spring when its bright yellow flowers are in bloom. This Iberian inhabitant thrives in arid, rocky habitats, and so is well-suited to growing in the rock gardens of Mediterranean-style gardens. This plant is much-loved by leafhoppers, who eat its leaves.

Water: Adapted to Mediterranean climates, lampwickplant thrives in drought-prone environments and prefers well-drained soils. Requiring minimal irrigation (every three weeks), it excels in outdoor settings and is ideal for xeriscaping, efficiently surviving dry spells while making the most of sporadic rainfall.
Fertilize: For lampwickplant, use balanced fertilizers every 4-6 weeks during active growth in spring and summer. High nitrogen can promote leaves but may hinder flowering if overused. Reduce feeding in fall and stop in winter. Always water after fertilization to prevent root burn and ensure good drainage.
Pruning: Lampwickplant has aromatic leaves and tall flower spikes. Prune in early spring for vigorous growth and better air circulation. Remove dead stems, trim spent spikes, and thin the plant to avoid overcrowding. Regular pruning boosts blooming and overall health.
Propagation: Lampwickplant propagates well through sowing in well-draining soil with adequate moisture. Seeds should be lightly covered and kept at a consistent temperature for germination. Thin out seedlings after sprouting and transplant them into individual pots or garden beds once a strong root system is established.
