Plant description

This is one of the more compact mulliens, (and this makes it great for pots or front of border positions), but it produces lots of flowerspikes, each of which is packed with larger than average flowers. Their colouring is sublime, being a dusky plum-purple that becomes paler as the flowers mature, so they mix easily with most shades of pink, purples and silver. Their upright habit will also bring a sense of structure to the border when they are planted in drifts.

How to care for Verbascum Sugar Plum (PBR):

Apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch around the base of the plant in autumn to protect from winter extremes, taking care not to cover the crown. Stake in spring with bamboo canes or twiggy prunings before the flowers appear. Mullein moth caterpillars can be a problem, pick off the insects in early June as soon as they appear. Remove faded flower spikes.

Please note:

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
