Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Garden writer Louise Beebe Wilder (1878-1938) appreciated the “noble outline” and “velvet leafage” of mulleins. We also love their easy care nature and long bloom time in early to late summer. The open saucer-shaped florets along the strong stems are a lovely creamy white with butter yellow stamens and are rarely without attentive bee visitors. Provide neutral well-drained soils.
