Tall Biennial with Yellow Flower Spikes
Common Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is a biennial that forms a rosette of soft gray-green leaves during its first season and typically develops a tall yellow flower spike in its second season. It performs well in sunny, well-drained sites, including relatively dry or low-fertility soils.
Plants can produce substantial quantities of seed and may self-sow where conditions are suitable.
