Phlomis chrysophylla, the golden-leaved Jerusalem sage, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae [1], native to southwest Asia. It is an evergreen shrub growing to 1 m (3 ft) tall by 1.2 m (4 ft) wide, with woolly-textured, sage-like leaves that turn lime green with age, and yellow flowers carried in the leaf axils in early summer.[2]

The specific epithet chrysophylla means "golden-leaved".[3]

In cultivation it requires some protection in winter. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4]
