Large, tight rosettes of glaucous, green leaves give way to a bouquet of flowering stems which nicely display the smoky-purple flowers.
The smaller size and compact habit of this selection makes it a perfect candidate for containers. If sited properly and deadheaded, it will bloom most of the summer.

Verbascum demands light, well-drained soil. Wet soil often leads to its demise. Full sun is also required. When properly sited, Verbascum is very low maintenance and easy to grow. Its normal bloom time is from late spring through early summer. However, it will continue to bloom well into summer if spent flower stalks are removed. It should be treated as a biennial or short-lived perennial.
