Description
Verbascum Phoeniceum Mixed Seeds - Irish Plants Direct
A graceful and long-flowering perennial producing tall, slender spikes of blooms in a romantic mix of apricot, carmine, salmon, violet, white and pink.
Verbascum phoeniceum is ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife borders and naturalistic planting schemes, offering vertical interest and soft colour from late spring to midsummer.
The blooms are loved by bees and butterflies, while the rosette forming foliage remains neat and low. This variety flowers in its first year from early sowings and self-seeds gently, returning reliably in future seasons.
Seed Qty Approx 500
Sow January to April indoors for same-year flowering; May to July for blooms the following year
Germination 14 to 21 days
Soil and Position Well drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun or light shade; suitable for borders and wildlife gardens
Height 80–100 cm
Flowering May to August
Planting ideas Cottage borders, wildlife gardens, pastel schemes, naturalistic planting
Sowing instructions
Sow thinly on the surface of moist compost in trays or modules. Do not cover seeds—light aids germination. Keep warm (18–21°C) and moist. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle, spacing 30–40 cm apart. Harden off and plant out after frost risk has passed.
Grow and maintenance
Grow in full sun or light shade in well drained soil. Water during dry spells and deadhead to prolong flowering. Cut back spent flower spikes to encourage basal growth. Allow some plants to self-seed for natural regeneration.
Uses and benefits
Perfect for adding height, movement and pollinator appeal to mixed borders. The soft colours blend beautifully with grasses, salvias and roses. Verbascum phoeniceum offers elegance, resilience and seasonal charm with minimal maintenance.
