verbascum will grow anywere,best suted to dry sandy or gravelly soil, so the sun is no problem ,and it needs the cold of winter to help it to flower, in other words were you are is ideal. hope this helps.

Most Verbascums are native to Southern Europe, which is generally hotter than Britain, so I think its worth a try. They like full sun and dryish soil. This particular variety, though, can take 2 to 3 years to flower, and when it does, it may then die - but it usually seeds itself round and about, or you can collect seed and grow it yourself. None of the varieties are particularly long lived anyway.
