Plant type: perennial
Height: 36-42"
Planting depth: surface sow
Exposure: full sun
Plant spacing: 12"

How to sow:
Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Do not cover seed as light is required for germination. Harden off seedlings and transplant outdoors after last frost. Pinching is not necessary.
Care:
Verbascum is best enjoyed in the garden, as vase life is only about 3 days. Use as a cut flower when vase life is not a consideration (ie: event work). Deadhead to encourage a second flush of blooms later in the season. 105-120 days to maturity.
