At Wave Hill, Silver Brocade, a whitish low-lying hardy form of beach wormwood, sits next to a Jerusalem sage, whose narrow green leaves are as velvety as rabbit's ears.

Silver plants are naturals for Mediterranean conditions so, virtually all artemisias will thrive as will the grey-green Jerusalem sage,Phomis fruticosa, all lavenders, and the almost metallic silver,Senecio leucostachys.

Phlomis fruticosa (Jerusalem sage) is a species of flowering plant of the Lamiaceae family, native to Albania, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Turkey, and regions of the former Yugoslavia.

Miller frequently mentions Sherard's contributions to Chelsea, among them Phlomis orientalis, Jerusalem sage, completely destroyed by the great frost of 1740 and P. flavescens, which managed to survive many years in a warm border.

Common names include Jerusalem Sage and Lampwick Plant.

The larvae feed on Phlomis species.

The name Phlomis derives from a Greek word for "flame", and may refer to the leaves' use in ancient times as lamp wicks.

Other recorded foodplants include Lamium, Origanum, Calamintha and Phlomis species.

In the foothill zone, many areas are now cultivated, but there remain small patches of natural vegetation dominated by herbs of the genus Phlomis.

The plants within the screen are typical of those bedded throughout the park, which include French marigolds, roses, tulips, phlomis, sedum and silver dust.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Phlomis herba-venti and possibly Phlomis russeliana.

Botanical synonyms include Leucas bancana Miq., Phlomis zeylanica Linn.

Phlomis armeniaca is a perennial herb in the genus Phlomis endemic to Turkey.

Although the foothill zone, especially the plain of Arbil, is heavily cultivated, patches of natural vegetation remain, with herbs in the genus Phlomis being very common.

Typically the zone begins with the disappearance of Berberis, Marrubium and Phlomis and the appearance of Vicia canescens in enormous quantity.

An example is Phlomis 'Edward Bowles', launched by Hiller Nursuries in 1967, which apparently derives from seeds from Myddelton.

Nearby is the Eichkogel Nature Reserve, with rare flora, like 'Knollen-Brandkraut' (Phlomis tuberosa) and others, on 'Halbtrockenrasen'.

The larvae feed on Phlomis species, including Phlomis samia in Greece and Phlomis tuberosa in the southern Ural.

The larvae feed on Ballota nigra, Lamium, Marrubium vulgare, Phlomis, Stachys alopecuros, Stachys byzantina, Stachys officinalis, Stachys recta and Stachys sylvatica.

The garden also contains a herbarium of some 6,000 species, with particular strength in phanerogams of the Mediterranean region and other Mediterranean climates, including Salvia, Phlomis, Astragalus, Cistaceae, and species cultivated in the garden.

Phlomis species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the Coleophora case-bearers C. phlomidella and C. phlomidis, which both feed exclusively on Phlomis spp.

A plant such as Origanum laevigatum "Herrenhausen" will literally flower for weeks while echinacea, eryngium, phlomis and bronze fennel will not only keep the garden going until the autumn wave of asters, but will provide the bees with a sanctuary in increasingly difficult times.
