What type of plant is this?

[AJkowski]

I am visiting family in Oregon and am curious what type of plant this is? The nursery and neighborhood have no idea what it’s called.

One of the Phlomis at a guess.

Thank you so much. I believe you are correct. I looked it up and compared the picture of a Jerusalem sage to the plant. Thank you for your help with solving the mystery

There is a purple(ish) one which I would love to have been able to buy. Not sure that they will grow in our new garden, the like more sun than we can supply here.

This particular Jerusalem-sage is Phlomis russeliana, native to Turkey and Syria. It is notable for its especially large and dark green leaves. There are almost a hundred species of Phlomis occurring widely in parts of southern Europe, northern Africa, and southwestern and central Asia. The genus is in the Mint Family (Lamiaceae).
