Verbascum Flower Seed Overview
Verbascum flower seed, also known as Mullein, is a perennial, flower that is smaller in stature than most verbascums. It grows only 2-3 feet tall and flowers the first year if started early enough. This plant has dark green, crinkly leaves and beautiful spikes of papery-thin, saucer-shaped, purple-violet flowers. The plant starts blooming from the bottom of the spike and proceeds upward, opening one by one. This makes a great mullein for any garden.
Plant Mullein flower seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date, or after danger of frost has passed. Lightly press the seeds into the ground, do not cover with soil since the seeds need light to germinate. Keep constantly moist, not wet, and the seeds will germinate in 2-3 weeks. Flowers can be left on to self-seed or can be dead headed to encourage more blooming.
