    We inherited one when we moved into this house. It was fairly old then and is now 13 years older and still going strong. It is in front of a window and makes an excellent burglar discourager. 😊

    What a lovely photo @Guernsey Donkey2.  I'm a big fan of phlomis too. Lovely seedheads in winter.  I pulled out a few rhizomes and planted them in another border and they have taken to it really well.  But yes, the do seem to do rather too well so it's best to keep an eye and pull up the wandering rhizomes before the colonise the whole area.
