Product Description:
Mullein grows in a tight silvery rosette of leaves its first year and then produces a single unbranched stem covered in blooms its second year. Mullein is fairly easy to grow, doing well in most well lit areas with disturbed soil. It is a common roadside plant in places but seldom becomes an issue due to it needing open ground to germinate.

Origination: Asia
Height: 1-2 m
Hardiness: zones: 6-10
Flower Color: yellow
Other Names: Great mullein, Common mullein, Indian rag weed, Poor man’s blanket, Wolly mullein, Velvet mullein (It should be noted that there are over 40 common names in English alone, so some of the more common ones are listed)

Growing Instructions:
Choose a full sun area for best growth. Plants should be spaced out well enough so they don’t overlap, usually 18 inches is enough. Overall mullein has low water requirements, allow the soil to dry out between watering. Mullein is frost resistant; however, mulching should be utilized before a frost to protect the roots. It often takes to the second year to produce its blooming stalk.

Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰

 

Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
