its an attractive plant for the garden, though not long lived. i transplanted a couple from the pasture adn they did well long enough to bloom and seed but none of the seeds ever came up. it doesnt seem to be very invasive here.

It;s kind of peculiar because they rarely form big clusters of plants. Usually it's maybe a couple of plants in a general area and that's it. If you'ld like I'll send you a batch of seeds and you can try again

no thanks, i still have them in the pasture and also in the free pasture across the road. i dont worry about them. they are kind of cool. plus if times get much tougher i may need something to smoke.

mullein reminds me of another plant called "Lamb's Ear". same texture.

Also check for 'Verbascum', the botanical name, especially on the flower gardenung gardening sites.

Look for pictures on the Google or Dogpile image links. There are several impeoved horticural varieties with much larger and more colorful flowers.

Verbascun/mullein seed is a popular food with both turkeys and quail.
