Verbascum bombyciferum
'Arctic Summer'

A traffic stopper in full bloom, this 5’ stunner Native to the mountains of Greece, is extremely tough and drought tolerant. Lemon yellow, 2” blooms are held on amazing 2’ across candelabra-like spikes densely covered in white fur, lasting for months. Cut back and more will appear! Spectacular, silvery, 3-5’ wide foliage rosettes are covered in white down. Easy in well-drained, poor to average soil. Self-sows! To enjoy the leaves for themselves-pinch out flowering shoots for several years. Deer resistant!
