Great mullein is a tall, striking biennial with fuzzy gray-green leaves and dense spikes of small yellow flowers. It thrives in poor, dry soils and is excellent for drought-tolerant gardens and naturalized settings.
Verbascum thapsus is typically grown as a species; 'Southern Charm' and hybrid cultivars like 'Pink Domino' offer ornamental color variations, though the species is most common in wild and permaculture settings.
