Pale pink Verbascum with Goldcrest Conifer

Love this verbascum such a delicate pink, did you grow this from seed Janey?

Yes...Pp...two years ago....and they are all different colours, the tall one to the left is opening out to be a very dark purple one. I'd really recommend having them...they flower till late summer then I forget all about them till Spring when they've multiplied.....they seem to like sun or shade and are so easy to grow.....:o)

what a beautiful plant, really soft pink, and looks great against conifer

I bought one last year, I don,t know what happened to it , another disappearance trick , I bought another one last week , it,s not in flower yet , I,m looking forward to seeing the colour of it .......

well good luck this year amy,,,my nan was called amy, we lost her this year and each time i see your name here i cant help thinking of my nan,, silly mentioning it but just saying what im thinking out loud really :o)

So sorry to hear about your Nan Sandra.......but a lovely comment too......let's hope you'll get some lovely flowers soon Amy. I should have a go at sowing the seeds in Autumn.....:o)

thanx janey :o)

These don't seem to like my heavy soil - I've only been able to keep them in pots before. I keep planting them with plenty of grit and at last I see I've kept one from last year - miracles do happen.

Oh that's good news Wagger......I reckon they may like similar conditions to the Great Mullein.....not too rich a soil and good drainage....:o)
