Nettle-leaved Mullein
Slender spires of saucer-shaped, pale yellow flowers with mauve eyes from July to August above rosettes of hairy, mid-green leaves. This nettled-leaved mullein is perfect towards the back of a sunny herbaceous or mixed border. One of the most reliable varieties, on fertile soils the white-woolly stems need staking in spring before the flowers appear.Position: full sunSoil: poor, well-drained, alkaline soilRate of growth: average Flowering period: July to August Flower colour: pale yellowHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: 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 flowerspikes. Apply a thick 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch around the base of the plant in early springIt 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
