I think another old name for it was 'MULLIEN' but Owdboggy has given you the correct name for it.Lovely plant but prone to rust sometimes.

Mullein is aslo very prone to Mullein moth caterpillar damage. We do not bother though the plants look awful for a while, but they recover, regrow and flower just a little later that is all.

It is Verbascum thlaspi. It is a biennial and will die once it has finished flowering. It seeds itslef all over the place though, so you will never be without it!
