Description How to Grow Delivery

Phlomis tuberosa 'Bronze Flamingo' is an unusual but hardworking pink phlomis variety that is ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens and prairie planting. Whorls of mauve-pink or soft lilac flowers are held at intervals along the stiff, upright stems, which themselves are a striking reddish purple. The tiers of tubular flowers open in sequence to give a long summer flowering season. During autumn and winter, these architectural flower stems are retained as very attractive and interesting dried seedheads, which rise above the downy evergreen leaves to provide habitat for little creatures. Requiring virtually no maintenance, this drought-resistant hardy perennial thrives in a sunny spot with good drainage. Height and spread: 100cm (39in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
