Yes, it looks like Phlomis fruticosa or Jerusalem sage. It is a flowering plant of the Lamiaceae family with the sage-like, aromatic oval, grey-green with white undersides, and covered with fine hairs leaves and yellow flowers. The specific epithet fruticosa means “shrubby”. Jerusalem sage is a popular ornamental plant.
