VERBASCUM SEEDS

The Verbascum genus, commonly known as Mullein, is a stately and versatile member of the Scrophulariaceae family. These biennials and perennials are celebrated for their tall, spire-like flower stalks adorned with clusters of five-petaled flowers in shades of yellow, white, pink, purple, or orange, which bloom from late spring to summer. Verbascum adds vertical interest and a touch of wild beauty to borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic plantings.

Native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, Verbascum thrives in well-drained, sandy soils and sunny locations, tolerating drought and poor soil conditions. These low-maintenance plants are ideal for wildlife-friendly gardens, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Popular species include Verbascum thapsus, or Common Mullein, admired for its golden-yellow blooms and soft, woolly leaves, and Verbascum phoeniceum, valued for its colourful flowers and adaptability.

The Verbascum genus combines beauty, hardiness, and ecological value, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking striking, pollinator-friendly plants that thrive in dry, sunny environments.
