Verbascum ‘Jackie in Pink’

Dwarf Hybrid Mullein

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.537.440

Cousins to the common roadside mullein, the Hybrid Mulleins are unusual and showy plants for the well-drained sunny border. Fuzzy green leaves are held in a low rosette, bearing upright spikes with delicate blooms of soft pink with a plum eye. Nice compact habit. Plants flower over a long period, and the spikes are excellent for cutting. Remove faded blooms to encourage more buds. Attractive to butterflies. USPP#15735: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
