Mullein is a striking biennial plant recognised for its tall flower spikes and large, soft, velvety leaves. During summer, it produces bright yellow flowers that bloom gradually from the bottom to the top of the stem, creating a long-lasting display. This tough plant grows well in poor, dry soils where many other flowers struggle, making it an excellent choice for natural or low-maintenance gardens. Mullein also attracts bees and other pollinators while adding height and texture to the landscape. USDA Hardiness Zones 3–9, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil.
