Features

notes

Verbascum Royalty is a charming, dwarf cultivar of the native wildflower Mullein. Rosettes of foliage appear from this cottage garden perennial, maturing into spires of attractive purple flowers from late spring to late autumn. While attractive to native pollinators it is also drought tolerant once established and unappealing to rabbits and deer.

Insights

The wildflower Mullein, also known as Figwort, is native across Asia and Europe, especially in the Mediterranean. The most common colour is yellow.

Details

Verbascum has a long-flowering season, from late spring to late summer, especially if you deadhead assiduously.
