Verbascum thapsus Mullein

Mullein in the Garden

A Young Mullein Ready for Planting

This three inch pot of Mullein is ready to go. Planted in the spring Mullein will grow into a striking floret like the one above. Tall flower spikes will emerge, and flowers will open from the bottom to the top over a period of about a month. The Mullein will then set seed and die. Seed heads left on provide food for birds and will scatter to the ground to provide the next year's crop. Planted in the fall, Mullein will grow a bit and then wait for next spring to expand and flower.
