Notes
'Honey Dijon' giant silver mullein (Verbascum 'Honey Dijon') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows 9 to 18 inches tall and bears peachy-yellow blooms that draw bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Drought tolerance makes it a good low maintenance pick.
Pairs well with Silver sage, Blue fescue, and Ornamental onion.
