Purple Mullein
Towering spires of saucer-shaped, papery purple blooms with golden stamens are produced from late spring to early summer. The deep green, flat rosettes of oval-shaped, crinkled leaves provide an attractive base for the airy and richly colored flowering spikes. Shorter than most verbascums, it's ideal for a small garden.Position: full sunSoil: poor, well-drained, alkaline soilRate of Growth: averageFlowering period: May to JuneFlowers: purpleOther features: self-seed freelyHardiness: 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 flower spikes. 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 |
