Verbascum x 'Plum Smokey' PP156156

Mullein

If you’ve ever wanted a low-growing, purple-flowering Mullein, we have the solution for you! Verbascum ‘Plum Smokey’ is a floriferous dwarf selection of Mullein that provides spectacular grape-purple tones to the front of the perennial border, blooming from July to mid-September over slightly downy, rugose foliage that provides a lovely texture to the garden when the plant is not in bloom. Unlike wild Mullein that can be found occupying roadsides and disturbed habitats, ‘Plum Smokey’ Mullein maintains a short, humble stature, reaching 14-16” in height at full bloom and performing with excellent vigor throughout the growing season. Deer and rabbits tend not to bother ‘Plum Smokey’ Mullein, leaving more for you and the butterflies to enjoy.
