Add a touch of graceful elegance to your garden with our Purple Mullein seeds. This beautiful heirloom perennial is prized for its slender, airy spires of beautiful, saucer-shaped flowers in rich shades of purple, violet, and rose. Unlike its larger cousins, this mullein has a more refined and delicate appearance. It forms a low rosette of leaves and sends up its stunning, long-lasting flower stalks in late spring and summer. It's a perfect choice for adding a vertical accent to cottage gardens and perennial borders.
