Verbascum 'Sugar Plum' is an eye-catching perennial that stands tall and proud, celebrated for its vibrant flower color and elegant vertical form. This plant brings a delightful burst of interest to sunny borders and gravel gardens, where it not only adds structure but also infuses the landscape with its rich hues. The striking flower spikes, adorned with clusters of sugar-plum purple blooms and bright orange-yellow stamens, create a stunning visual display that captivates the eye throughout the growing season.

Blooming from early to mid-summer, Verbascum 'Sugar Plum' often rewards gardeners with a second wave of flowers if the spent spikes are promptly removed. At its base, the plant forms a lovely low mound of soft, grey-green foliage, which contributes to its overall charm and creates a beautiful rosette shape. This perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, demonstrating remarkable adaptability to various conditions, including poor, dry, or stony ground. Once established, it exhibits excellent drought tolerance, making it an ideal choice for Mediterranean-style gardens or gravel landscapes.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Verbascum 'Sugar Plum' plays a vital role in supporting local ecosystems by attracting pollinators, particularly bees, which enhances the biodiversity of your garden. While it may have a relatively short lifespan, it has the potential to self-seed lightly, ensuring that it can continue to grace your garden without becoming invasive. Fully hardy in the UK, this resilient perennial can withstand cold weather, making it a reliable and beautiful addition to any garden setting. Height: 90 cm (35 in) Spread: 45 cm (18 in).

Plant Mullein into well drained, neutral or alkaline soil in full sun. Verbascum will thrive on poor, gravelly soils.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
