The leaves, which are similar to those of Salvia, are glaucous-green, simple, coarse, ovate-lanceolate in shape with entire margins and covered with fine hairs. The flowering of the monoecious plant occurs from late spring to early summer. The flowers have a tubular shape and are yellow in colour. The Jerusalem Sage is extremely easy to grow. It can be planted in almost any soil type, acid to alkaline reaction, as long as it has excellent drainage. It tolerates low temperatures, very high temperatures, drought and salinity. It can be used both in gardening and in landscape architecture, planted alone, in groups and in compositions with other plants. Thanks to its resistance to salt sprays, it can even adorn seaside gardens.
