Dark Mullein (Verbascum nigrum) is an attractive native perennial wildflower that brings height, colour and biodiversity. To meadows, grasslands, and wildlife-friendly planting schemes. Producing tall flower spikes topped with bright yellow blooms and distinctive purple stamens from June to September. This striking species provides a long-lasting display throughout the summer months.

Naturally found on grasslands, roadside verges, woodland edges, and open habitats across the UK, Dark Mullein thrives in well-drained soils and performs best in full sun.
