Dense-flowered mullein

Verbascum densiflorum develops strong flower spikes covered with densely arranged golden yellow blooms that enrich the summer garden for many weeks. The large, slightly woolly leaves form an attractive rosette and provide decorative interest even before flowering. This hardy native-style wild perennial is a valuable nectar source for numerous insects and is ideal for naturalistic plantings.

Watering and Care

Verbascum densiflorum performs best in well-drained soil with regular watering during extended dry spells. Once established, it becomes more resilient but shows the strongest growth when moisture levels remain reasonably consistent.

Maintenance

Remove spent flowers regularly to keep the plant attractive and encourage a longer flowering season. Old stems can be cut back in early spring before new growth appears.

Location

A sunny position encourages abundant flowering and sturdy growth. Rich garden soil with good drainage provides ideal conditions.
