Verbascum x hybrida 'Southern Charm'

 

Mullein 'Southern Charm'

Verbascum - or mullein - are perennial or biennial, tall flowering plants that have a basal rosette of foliage from which, in Summer, arises a flower spike of saucer-shaped flowers that are attractive to bees. 'Southern Charm' has soft pastel spires of flowers, which grow up from the low rosette of leaves, making an ideal plant for garden borders.
