Shorter than the biennial verbascums, this plant has bloomed 2 years in a row. The flower stalk forms many branching arms like a candelabra, and is quite showy. It has not volunteered seedlings like some of it's weedy cousins. Great plant.

Neutral Kell On Dec 3, 2007, Kell from Northern California, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This plant was found in 1999 in Greece, it is now available in the US. The leaves make a 3 foot rosette of fuzzy leaves. It is a show off with a 5 foot flower spike that is spectacular with many bright yellow flowers. NO WATER IN THE SUMMER!! In the winter it is semi deciduous but will return in the spring. Plant in rich, well draining soil.
