NEW! Southern Charm Mullein Seeds, Apricot, Peach Shades, Verbascum Hybrida VE0220P

Verbascum ‘Southern Charm’ Seeds – Pastel Peach & Apricot Spikes from the Mullein Family

***Very limited supply - while supplies last!***

Discover the softer side of the mullein family with Verbascum ‘Southern Charm’ (Verbascum hybridum). While wild mulleins are known for bold yellow roadside spires, this elegant garden hybrid transforms that rugged look into something refined: airy flower spikes rising 2–3 feet tall, cloaked in delicate pastel shades. Peach, apricot and cream blooms, each with a faint purple eye, create beautiful spires that glow in borders and bouquets.

Gardeners familiar with tough yellow mulleins will love this garden-ready cousin. ‘Southern Charm’ keeps the upright spire structure but replaces harsh colors with a romantic spectrum of apricot and peach pastels, softened with lavender and rose eyes. The result is a mullein that feels right at home in cottage gardens, cutting beds, and pollinator-friendly plantings. Bees and butterflies adore the open-faced blooms, and the tall, elegant spikes make striking cut flowers.
