Verbascum phoeniceum 'Purpureum'

(PURPLE MULLEIN) This cottage garden favorite has showy 3’ tall spikes of purple May August rising from evergreen rosettes of dark green leaves that lay almost flat on the ground; short lived perennial or biennial, usually reseeds. Enjoys dry rocky sites and open woodland settings in well drained (hates wet feet), dryish soil. Hold the fertilizer, this baby likes it lean!
