Description: 47,000 Mullein seeds per order (Verbascum thapsus) can be grown for many reasons, including its ornamental value, medicinal properties, and ability to attract pollinators: Ornamental: Mullein can add structure and height to a garden with its large, upright form and tall flower stalks. It can be grown in rock gardens, cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and xeriscape gardens. Mullein's bright yellow flowers with five petals are a favorite of hummingbirds and other pollinators. Depending on the variety, the flowers can also be pink, white, or purple. Medicinal: Mullein has been used as an herbal remedy for coughs, diarrhea, and lung issues. The flowers can also be used to make dyes in shades of yellow, green, or brown. Pollinator attraction: Mullein attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators. Mullein is easy to grow from seed and can thrive in almost any type of soil, but it prefers full sun and good drainage. You can sow seeds directly in the fall or winter, or start them indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. When starting indoors, scatter the seeds on top of the seed starting mix and lightly cover them with soil. Once the seedlings have grown a few leaves, you can transplant them into a larger container or into the garden. Mullein is drought tolerant and can withstand poor soil conditions, but you should water it sparingly and only when the soil is dry.
