Wooly mullein (
Verbascum phlomoides) is a statuesque biennial to perennial native to dry, stony regions of France. The variety 'Chaixii' is sometimes sold as a garden perennial in the States. Wooly mullein is valued ornamentally for its 3- to 5-foot height, thickly furred, gray-white foliage, and bold candelabras of luminous yellow flowers. In Europe, wooly mullein is a valued and much used medicinal herb.
Plant wooly mullein in spring through summer in full sun and well-drained soil. Its nearly-white foliage makes it a wonderful addition to a moonlight garden, but it is just as much at home in the classic perennial border or dry meadow. Excellent xeriscape plant.
I've searched for a year to find the right source of French native wildflower seeds to offer you. Here they are! Certified organically grown, these seeds are produced on a family flower farm in the
Massif Central. One hundred percent of the process is artisanal, right down to the seed packets which are decorated with drawings of the content plants by the owner.
