Verbascum ‘Clementine’

A stately and sophisticated perennial, Verbascum ‘Clementine’ brings architectural height and warm, glowing tones to the summer border. From June to August, tall, branching spikes emerge, heavily loaded with large, saucer-shaped flowers in a stunning shade of warm apricot-orange, each accented by fuzzy, violet-purple central filaments.

The flowers rise above a tidy rosette of large, soft, grey-green leaves, providing a dramatic vertical accent that is a favourite for cottage gardens and contemporary schemes alike. Fully hardy and easy to grow, this nectar-rich perennial is a magnet for bees.

July-September flowering. Best in a sunny and well drained position. Height & spread: 150cm x 60cm (5′ x 2′).
