Verbascum ‘Clementine’ (mullein)

Verbascum ‘Clementine’ is a striking perennial that produces a spectacular display of flowers from early summer through to the end of autumn. Renowned for its ability to maintain consistent blooms over an extended season, ‘Clementine’ brings enduring colour and presence to borders and mixed planting schemes. To encourage even more flowering, deadheading after the initial flush is recommended, helping to extend its ornamental impact.

Bred by National Collection holders Vic Johnstone and Claire Wilson, this variety was introduced at the Hampton Court Flower Show in 2003, highlighting its quality and appeal. Its tall, elegant stems and vibrant blooms make it a standout choice for gardeners seeking continuous summer and autumn interest. Ideal for wildlife-friendly gardens, it also attracts pollinators, combining beauty with ecological value. With its reliable performance and eye-catching floral display, Verbascum ‘Clementine’ remains a celebrated addition to any perennial garden.
