Thompson & Morgan Thompson & Morgan Verbascum Olympicum 9Cm Potted Plant X 2

Create an instant wow factor in your cottage or wildlife garden with Verbascum Olympicum. This imposing perennial is perfect for filling gaps in hot, dry borders, rapidly growing to an impressive 2 metres. Its felted, silver foliage forms a striking backdrop to tall spikes of vibrant, buttery-yellow flowers, making it a spectacular focal point. While Verbascum olympicum is a relatively short-lived perennial, often blooming in its third year and sometimes dying after its magnificent display, it's a prolific self-seeder. This means you can look forward to new seedlings emerging, ensuring a continuous show of these beautiful Mulleins. It thrives in less-than-ideal conditions where other plants struggle, making it an excellent, low-maintenance addition for summer borders. How to Grow Light: Full sun.
