Mullein, Common

Verbascum Thapsus – Biennial 

A stately specimen that has spread to become a pan-boreal wild plant used the world over for its medicinal values.  Forms a low rosette of gray-green, wooly leaves that grow up to 12” long the first year.  In its second year it sends up one or more flower spikes that can reach 8’ tall with small yellow flowers that attract pollinators.  These flowers can be gathered for an oil infusion that is used to treat ear aches. Once the plant has flowered it can produce millions of tiny seeds, so plant wisely.  SSF.
