Mullein - Two useful varieties of Mullein are far apart in size; Great Mullein (Verbascum thapsus), also called Our Lady's Flannel, Hag's Taper, and some 30 other local names, grows to a height of 8 or 9 feet when brought into the garden while the delicate stalk of Moth Mullein (V. blattaria) grows not over 4 feet high.
Propagation: By seed, germination 10 days, self-sows freely.
Nature of Plant: Great Mullein-sturdy, erect stalk from 7 to 8 feet high with huge velvety leaves from 16 to 18 inches long in a big rosette at the foot but much smaller leaves on stalk; flower spikes thick with small, golden yellow flowers; when dried and dipped in oil, stalks burn like tapers; it is too coarse and large for a small flower garden but of interest in a large gray garden.
Moth Mullein - leaves about 2 inches long, flowers 3/4 inch across, yellow with lilac-colored centers, on short stems or pedicels appear to be clinging to the 18-inch stalk; decorative for gardens and good for height in flower arrangements.
Cultural Requirements: Poor, dry soil anywhere; unless seed head of Great Mullein is cut, ground will be matted the following spring with seedlings.
Spacing of Mature Plants: Great Mullein 3 feet; Moth Mullein 10 inches.

Leaf: (Medicinal) In cigarettes for asthma; infusion for pulmonary diseases, vulnerary, poultices, oil has softening and soothing properties.
