Verbascum chaixii - 2017

Having finally got seed of the yellow form to germinate, my white ones seem to have disappeared - grrrr

How can you lose it, so sturdy? Will have seeds later, or even now if I have a root around the borders, almost certainly a tiny self seeder or two of Alba.

Sue - I have lots of seedlings around, but no white flowers this year (so far).

Am I right in thinking the foliage of the yellow appears greener and more glossy than Alba?

It's not something I had consciously noticed, but many white flowers have paler foliage than their coloured counterparts.
