Verbascum Helen Johnson is a striking perennial mullein, producing tall spires of peach flowers that mature to a warm rusty orange from early to midsummer. Its silver-grey rosettes of felted leaves form an attractive base, while the blooms draw bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to the garden. Ideal for sunny mixed or herbaceous borders, this drought-tolerant variety is also great in containers. Cut back spent stems to encourage further flowering.

A perfect choice for adding height, texture, and long-lasting colour to summer displays. Hardy and low-maintenance, it also supports wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

May-July flowering. Thrives in full sun in any well-drained soil. Height & spread: 90cm x 40cm (35″ x 16″).
