General Information:
Verbascum are bold plants with large velvety foliage. Flowers are atop towering spikes held well above the foliage. Plant Verbascum where you need a vertical accent. Needs lean, well drained soil.
Plant Care:
Prefers a lean, alkaline well-draining soil. Avoid highly fertile and wet soils. Mature clumps do not respond well to division. Instead, pluck out a few seedlings in spring and transplant. Allow some seeds to fall if volunteers are desired. Removing flower stalks after blooming can increase vigor for over-wintering. Taller forms may benefit from staking.
