Mullein - Summer Sorbet
The Verbascum Summer Sorbet, 'Verbascum hybridum', also known as Mullein, has masses of magenta purple flowers with a hint of peach and raspberry eyes. The stalks arise off of large, glossy, green leaves, which add contrast to the flower color. It is said to be one of the most floriferous of all Verbascum. ‘Summer Sorbet’ has a plant height of 2’ and a plant spread of 12-18” and blooms from late spring into summer. Removing spent flowers will encourage additional bloom time. This low maintenance perennial requires dry to medium soil and should be planted in full sun for best results. Verbascum will tolerate a wide range of soil conditions but must have good drainage or it could be fatal. ‘Summer Sorbet’ can be planted in rocky slopes to add color, as a border plant or in cottage gardens.
