JERUSALEM SAGE YELLOW CLARY Phlomis fruticosa

I was waiting for the bus one day and decided to have a look around at the many shrubs around that were flowering. I found this one peculiar yellow flower with sepals that are star-shaped. After several play on the search words on Google, I came across a text description that matches what I was looking for and this was further confirmed by the similarity of the flowers in the images provided. According to wildflowerfinder.org.uk, these are Jerusalem Sage. They are actually weeds but they didn't look so as they appeared tidily kept at our uni garden beds by the bus stop.
