Verbascum bombyciferum 'Polar Summer'

This is an even prettier version of the traditional biennial Mullein. It grows an even denser and longer lasting coat of white hairs than the straight species, giving it a completely frosted look. It is one tough plant: easy to grow, deer and rabbit resistant, drought tolerant, self sowing. Plant it in a well-drained sunny spot and forget it.
