Verbascum ‘Helen Johnson’


Hybrid Mullein

 USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.537.290


Cousins to the common roadside mullein, the Hybrid Mulleins are unusual, showy plants for the well-drained sunny border. Above a flat rosette of triangular grey-green leaves, form branching spikes of flowers in a beautiful coppery-orange shade with a flush of cream. Plants flower over a long period, and the spikes are excellent for cutting. Inclined to exhaust itself to death, any small offsets should be removed each spring, to start new plants. This British selection is exceedingly popular.
