Verbascum olympicum

Olympian Mullein

A fine plant for putting on a show in summer, the Verbascum olympicum is a unique and stunning addition to any garden. Its large woolly grey/green leaves are produced in spring, forming a large clump from which tall flower spikes emerge in abundance. These spikes are adorned with beautiful yellow blooms, creating a striking contrast against the foliage.

This plant grows to a spread of 50cm and reaches a flowering height of around 1.2m. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a perfect choice for sunny borders or rock gardens. The Verbascum olympicum is fully hardy and evergreen, making it a reliable and long-lasting addition to your garden. While it is a short-lived perennial, it will rejuvenate itself through self-seeding.

Available in either a 9cm pot or 2 Litre pot, the Verbascum olympicum is a versatile and low-maintenance plant that will add a touch of elegance to your outdoor space. Choose your preferred pot size from the drop-down menu when ordering.
