Verbascum bombyciferum | Giant Silver Mullein Nicola Ferguson Whilst considered a short-lived perennial

Whilst considered a short-lived perennial which can actually be anything up to five years but don't despair as this little beauty will actually self-sow and will form large colonies in conditions that it enjoys

It may need staking on exposed sites or grown amongst other mid-height perennials to give it some support

it can flower right into autumn

The leaves are soft due to a cover of glandular hairs that give a velvet touch and sheen to the leaves
