Purple Mullein Seeds

The Purple Mullein is a beautiful, unique and easy to grow variety of verbascum. Known for its showy purple flowers, this is a great addition to any cottage or backyard flower garden

Purple Mullein is a biennial or short-lived perennial species and is one of the earliest mulleins to bloom. Its showy blossoms of dark-purple, violet, pink, or white open along slender 3-foot spires for about two weeks in early summer. Its shiny dark green leaves are ground-hugging and evergreen. Purple Mullein is shorter than other mulleins making it well suited for smaller gardens.

Purple Mullein has naturalized in some regions of the U.S.
