Verbascum - Snow Maiden

Wow Janey...my seed grown ones never left the ground, they flowered but the leaves lay flat on the soil...strange???

Very impressive....

The ones I bought were exactly like yours Motinot..feet on the ground!

Aw that's a shame Moti, these really took off, Sim,bad kindly sent me the seeds a couple of years ago and when I sowed them late Spring, I was expecting the smaller spring ones, but this is great for late summer, the leaves are a lot greyer than the pic shows and really hairy, I know they do prefer sun and free draining conditions, but all doing well....:o)

Thanks Dd and Tet, it does seem to be a cross between the Olympicum and the Phoeniceum, very tall with pretty flowers.

It must suit them where they are Janey , will you let them stay there ?

mine not dun anything , hopefull next year !! ;0))

Lovely plant. We used to get a large light green caterpiller on ours with black spots on. Hope this plant seeds well for you.
