Verbascum ‘Jackie’
Hybrid Mullein |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.537.270
Cousins to the common roadside mullein, the Hybrid Mulleins are unusual, showy plants for the well-drained sunny border. Compact spikes form above a flat rosette of triangular grey-green leaves, with flowers in a beautiful creamy-apricot shade with an orange eye. 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 a probably the most popular Hybrid Mullein of all time.
