Notes
'Lavender Lass' giant silver mullein (Verbascum 'Lavender Lass') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and accents. 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 is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Its lavender-pink flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It is drought tolerant, so it suits low care spots.
Pairs well with Gaura, Blue fescue, and Spotted beebalm.
