Verbascum aphentulium - mullein
A tall-growing (3m or more, once established) perennial mullein, originally from the Pilion area of eastern mainland Greece. Formerly known as V. pelium.
Narrow, unbranched spikes of yellow flowers, with purple-haired stamens. The basal leaves are mid-green, with a yellowish-tinge, unlike some of the silver/grey-leaved species. The plants grow larger each year, with an increasing number of flower spikes.
Prefers a light to medium soil, in sun or light shade. They are tall plants, so are better in a position that is not too exposed.
Sow in situ in the autumn or spring, or plant in 7.5cm pots and plant out. Germinates well. Appears to be long-lived and very hardy here.
