Verbascum phoeniceum 'Viloetta' - Purple Mullien - This biennial or short-lived perennial species is one of
the earliest mulleins to bloom. Its showy blossoms of dark-purple, violet, pink, or white open along slender
3-foot spires for about two weeks in early summer. It is commonly found on dry, stony hillsides and open
woodlands, but it is well-adapted to cottage, gravel, and rock gardens or naturalized areas. It self-sows but
not as a nuisance, and many seedlings vary slightly from the parent cultivar, thus creating welcome surprises.
