Verbascum ‘Sugar Plum’ (PBR)

This is one of the more compact mulliens, (and this makes it great for pots or front of border positions), but it produces lots of flowerspikes, each of which is packed with larger than average flowers. Their colouring is sublime, being a dusky plum-purple that becomes paler as the flowers mature, so they mix easily with most shades of pink, purples and silver. Their upright habit will also bring a sense of structure to the border when they are planted in drifts.
