pollinators

Looking for a pollinator magnet??? Look no further. Check this video out! These upstanding candelabras of copious violet-eyed sunshine-hued flowers stage a truly incandescent spectacle. ‘Sixteen Candle's' proud yellow spires command attention. One of the few truly perennial species of mullein, it has sulphur-yellow blossoms with purple and red filaments, which bloom profusely on long flower stalks in mid and late summer, above its rosettes of hairy, jagged-edged leaves which are semi-evergreen. The graceful spikes make a lovely vertical accent in the garden and bloom over a very long flowering period extending from late spring to late summer with possible fall re bloom. Makes a majestic statement in the garden! These plants are well-adapted to cottage gardens, gravel, and rock gardens, or even naturalized areas. This is one of the better-behaved Mulleins that may gently self-seed but rarely becomes a nuisance!Great for cut flower bouquets. Loves a dry very well drained sandy or rocky soil in the sun.
