Verbascum Nigrum – Dark Mullein – ‘Album’ White’

Description

Very striking long blooming, re-seeder, for continuous beauty. Low growing mat of foliage, not the large rangy variety. It has also been called the candlewick plant, because the long fuzzy leaves were (and can be) cut into long strips, then dried to be used as the wicks for homemade candles. It was given to cattle to aid in a cough and it is used in some countries (historically) to aid with pulmonary consumption.
