Wooly leaved shrub, from Turkey and very much like its close relative P. fruticosa. To 4 ft tall and wider with pale, blue-green, slight fuzzy leaves that take on a coppery fuzz over time and, in spring to early summer, spherical heads of two-lipped, yellow flowers appear on upright stems. Full sun to light shade and well-drained soil with little summer water for these natives of Mediterranean Europe. Evergreen and frost hardy to 15F, mid USDA zone 8.
