Verbascum

The robust plants are actually incapable of setting viable seed, so we must offer seed which has been pollinated meticulously by hand between the two parent plants. As with most F1 Hybrids, special factors are tremendous vigour and a plant that just keeps on flowering, as it tries to produce seed…

A first class garden plant! Well branched, erect spikes covered in large 4cm (1½in) pure white flowers, over a long period. An incredibly beautiful plant for the back of borders, seldom requiring support

Slender spikes of various shades. Grows freely from seed and always much admired. Height: 60-90cm (2-3ft)

Silver leaves, erect fleecy silver stems, heavily studded with cool yellow flowers

Thanks to successful breeding we can now have the versatile Verbascum in gorgeous pastel shades. Long spikes bear 1in flowers in shades of apricot, dusky pink, cream and lavender-pink over a long period. Use them for bedding (sown in the previous autumn), herbaceous borders and containers…

A fantastic new Verbascum! Strong, erect spikes literally packed with very large 2in. flowers of brightest, dazzling two-tone yellow. A glowing, valuable back of border, cottage garden plant. Remove spent stems to encourage a second flush of flowers. Height: 150-180cm (5-6ft)
