Blossoming in our garden right now is Verbascum, a member of the Mullein family of plants. We grew these from seed last year:
The plants shown above are just over 30″ tall.
They prefer hot dry areas, so I planted them in a spot (where the irrigation doesn’t reach) near the asphalt driveway.
This is the first year of blossoming for these perennials…I forgot I had planted them! What a pleasant surprise.
