White Verbascum and White Mulleins
This close up photo shows a typical verbascum inflorescense with many flowers packed tightly round a flowering stalk.
Verbascum Pixie series are a range of plants with shorter flowering spikes. Typically they grow to 18″. Verbascum Pixie White is a favourite with an award for garden merit agm. The flowers open from the bottom of the flowering stalk that makes a long lasting show.
Flowers can be picked for indoor display.
Removing spikes will encourage new flowers later in the season.

I’m planning to plant a border of white verbascum with white lavender and Rosa iceberg. Can you recommend a good nursery in the North West of England which stocks verbascum? So far I have found that Brownthwaite Nurseries in Kirkby Lonsdale supple them but have found no other.
I do not know any in the North West. You could try Plant Finder at the RHS or grow from seeds. Good luck with your white Constance Spry type garden
What is the difference between Verbascum phoeniceum Flush of White and temptress White?
