Silk / Giant Silver Mullein

Silk Mullein - also known as Giant Silver Mullein, Turkish mullein or Broussa mullein - is a unique mullein species that produces broad basal growth of thick, pale green leaves. As plants mature they form sturdy, furry white stalks with large yellow flowers that bees and other beneficial pollinators love to snack on. This is definitely a show stopper in the garden when in flower. One plant can encompass an area of three square feet. Foliage can also used for tea (or a toilet paper substitute!).

Seeds are certified organic.
