Dark Eyes Verbascum Verbascum x 1 Gal

Verbascum 'Dark Eyes' is a striking plant in both flower and leaf, with textural leaves that form a compact rosette and dense spikes of grape-centered yellow flowers. A dwarf hybrid, it grows just 12 inches tall (in bloom) and wide, a fraction of the size of many other hybrid verbascum and the large, naturalized common mullein (V. thapsus), familiar to many from roadsides and sites disturbed for construction. Verbascum 'Dark Eyes''s good manners, compact stature and impressive summer blooms make it a candidate for the front of the border or containers, and the flowers attract butterflies.
