Phlomis longifolia, the long-leaved Jerusalem sage, is a species of flowering plant in the mint and sage family Lamiaceae, native to the hills of Cyprus, Turkey and Lebanon.[2]

Growing to 100 cm (39 in) tall and broad, this small evergreen shrub has felted green sage-like leaves; and, in summer, bright yellow flowers on erect stems. Hardy to −10 °C (14 °F), it requires full sun and well-drained soil.

The Royal Horticultural Society has given its Award of Garden Merit to the variety Phlomis longifolia var. bailanica.[3]
