Verbascum - Flowers & Plants
Verbascum boerhavii bicolor 1 packet Towering spires of rich yellow blooms, each with a contrasting red centre, all rising from silver felt like, wide foliage. Outstanding border plant. |
Verbascum bombyciferum Silver Lining 1 packet Silver leaves, erect fleecy silver stems, heavily studded with cool yellow flowers. |
Verbascum chaixii Album 1 packet A stately perennial for the back of the border with slender spires of white flowers with mauve eye. The leaves covered with white woolly hairs add to the overall charm and make this a fine subject for blending with plants of harsher colours. Useful for flower arranging. Flowers summer. Height 120-150cm (4-5ft). |
Verbascum Copper Rose 5 plants in 5cm pots The result of T&M's own breeding. Large, silky blooms smother the soft silver stems in a lovely blend of colour shades. A hand-pollinated hybrid, with long flowering performance as the plants cannot set seed. |
Verbascum Copper Rose 10 plants in 5cm pots The result of T&M's own breeding. Large, silky blooms smother the soft silver stems in a lovely blend of colour shades. A hand-pollinated hybrid, with long flowering performance as the plants cannot set seed. |
Verbascum hybrida Banana Custard 1 packet A fantastic new Verbascum! Strong, erect spikes literally packed with very large 2in. flowers of brightest, dazzling two-tone yellow. A glowing, valuable back of border, cottage garden plant. Remove spent stems to encourage a second flush of flowers. Height: 150-180cm (5-6ft). |
Verbascum hybrida Snow Maiden 1 packet A first class garden plant! Well branched, erect spikes covered in large 4cm (1½in) pure white flowers, over a long period. An incredibly beautiful plant for the back of borders, seldom requiring support. |
Verbascum phoeniceum hybrids 1 packet Slender spikes of various shades. Grows freely from seed and always much admired. Height: 60-90cm (2-3ft). |
Verbascum x hybrida Copper Rose F1 1 packet The robust plants are actually incapable of setting viable seed, so we must offer seed which has been pollinated meticulously by hand between the two parent plants. As with most F1 Hybrids, special factors are tremendous vigour and a plant that just keeps on flowering, as it tries to produce seed which it cannot do. The gorgeous silky, large blooms will smother the soft, silver stems which reach up to 3ft. A great range of fashionable and delicious colours - ranging from copper to buff, apricot, old rose, tan and other lovely blends, all bursting from the contrasting silvery-grey flower spikes and buds. Sown in January/February they will easily flower during the summer of their first year, and if cut back will often re-bloom. An excellent performer. |
Verbascum x hybrida Southern Charm F1 1 packet Thanks to successful breeding we can now have the versatile Verbascum in gorgeous pastel shades. Long spikes bear 1in flowers in shades of apricot, dusky pink, cream and lavender-pink over a long period. Use them for bedding (sown in the previous autumn), herbaceous borders and containers. Do not forget that they make fantastic cut flowers too. Height: 660-120cm (2-4ft). |
