Verbascum ‘Pink Domino’
at Digging Dog
Mullein
This genus has a host of common names, including ‘Beggar’s Blanket’ and ‘Old Man’s Flannel’. In England, the very poor used to put the thick leaves into their shoes for warmth. It is also said that when fish eat the seeds, they are stupefied and can be
gathered by hand.
Although most of the more than 300 species are biennials, our offerings are perennials. Though some are dwarfs and some are giants, nearly all have fuzzy stamens and prefer very well drained sandy or rocky soil. We like to use them in the rock garden as specimens or for naturalizing. Verbascum ‘Pink Domino’ 
Romantic shades of rose-pink dress up these dark-eyed saucer-shaped blooms. Standing straight and tall, the lovely spikes rise from a rich green, purple-streaked, ripply rosette. Sprinkle among Monarda ‘Violet Queen’ and Eryngium ‘Blue Jackpot’ for divergent flower forms and an unrivaled feminine touch.
Blooms June – August. Size: 4'–4-1/2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 5. AVAILABLE SPRING 2012 Verbascum ‘Pink Domino’ (P-1557)
