- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age

Vibrant and Versatile Honey Dijon Mullein
Peachy perfection with a golden twist - the Honey Dijon Mullein (Verbascum 'Honey Dijon') is a dazzling dwarf perennial that knows how to steal the show. Also called Verbascum, this compact charmer sends up spikes topped with large spires of peach and gold blooms kissed with deep plum eyes, floating above neat green foliage like glowing torches of color.
Standing just 15 inches tall, Honey Dijon Mullein may be small in stature, but it packs a serious floral punch. The individual blossoms may be short-lived, but the plant makes up for it with an endless supply of flowers. Keep it deadheaded and you'll enjoy fresh spikes of blooms all the way through summer's end.
Note: Honey Dijon Mullein is related to the traditional medicinal Mullein plant, once used for supporting respiratory health, but this selection is an ornamental perennial cultivated for its striking blooms and garden performance. It is not intended for medicinal use.
Adaptable and easy-going, and once established, it laughs off frost and dry spells, making it both hardy and low maintenance. Pollinators can't resist its nectar - hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees will zip right in - while deer tend to ignore it.
