Verbascum is a genus with over 250 species, which are commonly called Mulleins. The species are native to Europe and Asia, the highest species diversity is from the Mediterranean region. Plants are perennial or biennials, the perennials tend to be short lived. They have tall spike like stems of flowers. Grow in well draining but moisture retentive soils in full sun, drought tolerant once established- many species have taproots. The seeds are medium-small and should be surface sown. Most species have seeds that germinate easy, the seedling are small but have a good growth rate. The seeds should be sown thinly because the seedlings produce two large, low growing leaves and they tend to crowd each other, give plenty of light. Seedlings can be planted out after a month or two of growth. Most plants will bloom the secound year but some selections have plants that will bloom the same year with an early sowing. The seeds can be sown from late winter to mid summer, in milder areas they can be sow into late fall.
