Culture Notes
Verbascum is a short-lived perennial or a biennial. This plant will often self sow, but propagation can also be done by division, cuttings, or seeds. Then it will flower the following year. It does not tolerate wet, cold soil. Cutting the main flower spike will encourage further blooming. The blossoms of 'Jackie' are peach-colored with purple centers. Its silvery-green foliage is slightly woolly.
