Verbascum 'Caribbean Crush' has tall upright, ruffled flowers in shades ranging from orange, mango and yellow above long spikes of silver/grey leaves. A very glamorous and stylish plant.
Verbascums give you the spires and candelabras of a garden – the tall, vertical, and often branched scale, which brings air into any plant combination. They are the third dimension, the upper storey to prevent any border becoming too heavy, too dull. I absolutely love them.
- Good for beginners
