Verbascum ‘Southern Charm’ mix


Showy Mullein

 USDA Zone: 5-10

Plant number: 1.537.360


This hybrid strain of Mullein is an outstanding selection for summer colour. Plants form a low, ground-hugging rosette of crinkly green leaves, bearing upright stems or spikes of flowers in a range of soft pastel colours, including apricot, pink, cream and lavender. Stems are tall and excellent for cutting. Although not a long-lived perennial, these usually self-sow. Seedlings are easily moved while small. Most effective when planted in groups towards the middle of the border. Also interesting in tubs or mixed containers.
