OTHER: White Blush is appropriately named, as its flowers begin as blushing crimson red buds before opening to reveal its 1” white flowers. Verbascum has a long bloom period, & will rebloom during the season. Super showy flowers with purple stamens cover tall spikes that rise above the glossy foliage that grows in a neat mounded basal rosette.

Verbascum provides an important source of nectar for honey bees, & of course butterflies love them! Moths enjoy the blooms as well, which has earned it its nickname “moth mullein”. The flowers are also great for cutting to use in floral arrangements.

The plants are deer resistant & able to tolerate some drought once they are established. Verbascum is also not picky about its soil, & can tolerate sandy or heavy clay soils, & even some shade. These biennials are cold hardy to Zone 5, but will reseed themselves for new plants the following spring in cooler climates as well.
