Verbascum Chaixii yellow. (Nettle-leaved mullein) This flower is one of the “true” perennial
species of the Mullein family. The long stalks produce pale yellow blossoms with purple and red filaments. The individual flowers are short lived, but the multitude of buds keeps it in bloom from mid to late summer and is low maintenance. It is a wonderful plant for your bees, and they will visit it daily in bloom, bees are something we should all try to help in their survival since they give more than they get! The plant is native to Europe and has adapted to the United States where it can be found on stony hillsides and open woodlands. The flowers could possibly vary slightly because of the parent cultivar. This plant adapts very well to rock gardens, gravel, and cottage gardens. These flowers are just so unique and so beautiful it’s a must have. It is nearly carefree and self-sows and a smooth pace so as not to overdo. For anyone who is unfamiliar with this gorgeous plant, it will surely be a conversation starter.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
