Verbascum/mullein plants (Hatfield AL10)

Great mullein aka verbascum thapsus is a large native biennial producing strong, long lasting impressive spikes of yellow flowers in the summer, beloved of insects as you can see. It also has velvety soft downy leaves. Self seeds, but not a problem. The flower spike is very strong and doesn't need staking.

Wants full sun and sharp draining stony ground, but I have wet sticky clay and it does fine.

These photos in flower are from previous years - what you would get is healthy young plants growing as rosettes - as in the last photo, which is from today. They should make a flower spike this summer.

I have at least 4 youngish plants to be given away and I will count if there is demand. I believe they transplant well at this time of year. Ideally they will be dug from the ground on the day you collect - by arrangement - they're not in pots.
