Love this verbascum such a delicate pink, did you grow this from seed Janey?

Yes...Pp...two years ago....and they are all different colours, the tall one to the left is opening out to be a very dark purple one. I'd really recommend having them...they flower till late summer then I forget all about them till Spring when they've multiplied.....they seem to like sun or shade and are so easy to grow.....:o)

These don't seem to like my heavy soil - I've only been able to keep them in pots before. I keep planting them with plenty of grit and at last I see I've kept one from last year - miracles do happen.

Oh that's good news Wagger......I reckon they may like similar conditions to the Great Mullein.....not too rich a soil and good drainage....:o)
