Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

- Age Indicators: Container size primarily indicates plant age and maturity rather than liquid volume equivalents
Growing Conditions

- Container size helps indicate plant maturity and establishment level
- Larger containers generally mean more established root systems and faster landscape establishment

Hail To The Verbascum Royalty
- Pollinator Friendly
- Deer Tolerant
- Blooms Late Spring
- Stunning Purple Flowers
Take a chance on planting a unique plant in your landscape. What a sight to behold and you won’t want to take your eyes off of him!
Verbascum Royalty (Verbascum ‘Royalty’) is a compact perennial with an abundance of graceful spikes smothered with large, stunning purple booms. The foliage is a beautiful dark green held in a low mound which offsets the flowers to perfection!
Verbascum Royalty performs best in full sun in average, dry to medium, well drained soil. He will thrive in poor soil, but it must be well drained. Will do well in inner city environments and is tolerant of urban pollution.
This little beauty is very useful and adaptable. Place him in your beds and borders, gravel gardens, cottage and wildlife gardens. He will look stunning in a container and in a vase for you to enjoy on your table. This plant is self seeding so will endure for years in your garden if allowed.
Royalty is drought tolerant once established. The deer seem to leave this plant alone. He will attract butterflies and hummingbirds so you will enjoy watching them flitter from flower to flower on those hot summer days. Remove the faded bloom spikes to encourage more buds.
In September, cut this perennial back to 3 inches. This will force new vegetative growth at the base which will make this plant stronger to hold all of the new gorgeous flowers that will appear in the spring.
This has a long bloom period starting in late spring to late summer, if properly deadheaded.
Be sure to add this little beauty from Nature Hills Nursery. You won’t regret it!
