Towering spires of saucer shaped, yellow summer flowers with purple centres above rosettes of grey green leaves. This cheerful yellow verbascum provides vertical interest in a sunny border or cottage garden. It prefers a poor, well-drained soil. On more favourable soil conditions the plant needs staking in spring.
- Garden care: Apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch around the base of the plant in autumn to protect from winter extremes, taking care not to cover the crown. Stake in spring with bamboo canes or twiggy prunings before the flowers appear. Mullein moth caterpillars can be a problem, pick off the insects in early June as soon as they appear. Remove faded flower spikes.
It is worth keeping in mind that these plants are mainly biennial, so although they usually self-seed freely, the plant will only live for two years.
