          Description

          Up to 12 plants ship for just $14.99 - so Fill Your Box and Save*

          When looking for an easy-to-grow, no fuss perennial, Verbascums ("Mullein") are an excellent choice. With tall stately blooming stalks, they are not fussy about soil, are drought tolerant, deer and snail proof, and are happy growing in sun to bright shade. They are truly a "plant and forget" plant. If you cut them back, they will re-bloom fairly quickly - plus they reseed. To sum it up, they make your garden look great with absolutely no work! This rare selection makes branching spikes of a rich, dark, violet-purple, but Mullein come in a variety of other colors too. Grows to 30" tall.

          Shipping Information

          Little Powerhouse of a Flower!

          First year was kind of ho-hum. Next year, it got the hang of putting out blooms. Following year, pretty wild and long-lasting flowers. Likes sun, some afternoon shade. Wants to be kept well hydrated.

          Stayed green but never bloomed

          I was very excited for this plant, but apparently it is shy. Leaves stayed green and vibrant all summer, just never bloomed. Maybe it will surprise me and come back in spring next year?
