Greek Mullein (Verbascum olympicum)

Description:

Olympic or Greek Mullein is a striking biennial to perennial herbaceous plant that belongs to the Scrophulariaceae family. It is native to the mountainous regions of Greece and Turkey. Greek Mullein typically grows to a height of 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2m) and forms a basal rosette of large, grey-green, felt-like leaves. The leaves are oblong in shape and can reach lengths of 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm). In summer of the second year growth cycle, the plant produces multiple tall spikes of vibrant yellow flowers with orange centres. The flower spikes can reach up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) in height, adding a dramatic element to the landscape. This Verbascum species stands out as the utmost productive and highly esteemed choice for cultivating flowers, delivering an unrivalled abundance of nectar that entices bees and other beneficial insects.

Growing Conditions:

  • Climate: thrives in Mediterranean/cool-temperate climates, characterised by mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers; adapted to withstand heat and drought but can also tolerate colder temperatures.

  • Position: full sun exposure to flourish, with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day.

  • Soil: well-draining, disturbed & moderately fertile soil although can adapt well to sandy, loamy, or rocky soil; ideal soil pH is neutral to slightly alkaline, ranging from 6.5 to 7.5.

  • Water: dry to moderately moist conditions; water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings; somewhat drought-tolerant once established.

  • Spacing: space the plants approximately 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90cm) apart.

  • Propagation: sow the seeds directly into the garden bed in spring (after last frost) or autumn; strew the seeds on the soil surface and tamp securely (light-dependent germination usually within 2 to 3 weeks), keep relatively warm and moist until germination; thin the seedlings once they have developed to ensure proper spacing.

  • Harvest:

    • Leaves: harvest when fully grown but still vibrant and before the plant starts flowering. The leaves are best harvested during the plant's first year of growth or early in the second year.

    • Flowers: pick the flowers when they are fully open and at their peak bloom. This typically occurs in the second year of growth.

    • Roots: harvest the roots in the fall or early spring when the plant is dormant.
