Verbascum Olympicum F. Album is a plant that will add some drama to your garden. It forms a tall and beautiful candelabra of flowering spikes, that are covered with golden-yellow blossoms. The flower stalks rise from a low-growing, wide rosette of silvery-grey felted leaves. The blooming season of these plants extend from early to late summer. These hardy plants will grow between 6 – 10 feet and do best in full sun with well-drained soils and are also drought tolerant. They will attract butterflies, bees, and birds to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. It is a wonderful plant for your bees, and they will visit it daily in bloom. Bees are something we should all try to help in their survival since they give more than they get! It is recommended to remove spent flower spikes to promote further blooms. They are native to Southern Greece, and the Olympus mountains in Turkey. They are great for cut flowers and do well in beds and borders. These plants are also low maintenance and are regarded as one of the most desirable of the genus.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
