Description
A cottage garden favourite known for its soft, romantic palette and elegant spires. Each tall stem carries a succession of open-faced blooms in dreamy shades of blush, peach, apricot, and lavender—each flower adorned with a deep plum eye that adds depth and contrast. Blooming in its first year, this variety brings height and lightness to borders, weaving beautifully through other plantings with its airy, upright form. Beloved by pollinators and easy to grow, it adds an antique quality to the garden.

Harvesting
Verbascum is best enjoyed in the garden as the vase life is really short. As a cut-flower, it's best used for event work. Deadhead to encourage a second flush of blooms later in the season.
