Mullein (Organic)
Golden Spikes for Majestic Landscapes
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is a striking biennial herb known for its tall, velvety spikes of yellow flowers and soft, silvery-green leaves. Often found growing in sunny, well-drained soils, this hardy plant is as visually captivating as it is versatile. In its first year, mullein forms a low rosette of fuzzy leaves, while the second year brings an impressive flower stalk that can reach up to six feet tall, making it a standout addition to any garden or landscape.
Mullein thrives in poor soils and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a resilient, drought-tolerant plant. Its ability to self-seed ensures a continuous presence in your garden, while its towering form provides architectural interest and attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Renowned for its traditional medicinal uses, mullein has long been valued for its soothing properties. The leaves and flowers are commonly used in herbal teas, salves, and oils to support respiratory health and ease minor irritations. The plant’s natural beauty, combined with its historical role in herbal remedies, makes mullein a functional and decorative addition to herb gardens and wildflower meadows alike.
Whether you’re drawn to its majestic growth habit, low-maintenance nature, or herbal potential, mullein is a versatile and rewarding choice for gardeners of all experience levels.
