    A ?very appealing white flowering cultivar? (Jelitto) of this useful perennial mullein, whose 3' spikes add drama to the garden in July and August. S/M

    By: Forestfarm

    Elegant & cottagey, this is one of my “must haves!” Perfectly erect spikes to 3’ tall are densely decorated with single white flowers studded with purple & orange “eyes.” Rich green leaves form a handsome rosette, 3’ across. Essen­tial for formal or cottage gardens. Cut spent spikes and it’ll bounce back with new ones. Self-sows!
