Hardy Perennial
FROM £19.99
Tall branching stems of yellow flowers
Heat and drought tolerant
Dramatic perennial for dry, sunny borders
Towering woolly white flower spikes create instant drama, creating an unforgettable display from early summer onwards. Verbascum bombyciferum 'Arctic Summer'combines broad felted silver leaves with tall branching stems lined with yellow blooms, giving it a bold architectural presence. The silvery foliage catches sunlight beautifully, adding brightness and texture to borders, while the tall flower stems draw the eye upward, providing strong vertical interest. Ideal for gravel gardens and hot planting schemes, it pairs wonderfully with ornamental grasses and drought-loving perennials. Ultimate height: 1.8m (5.9ft). Ultimate spread: 90cm (35in).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Verbascum bombyciferum 'Arctic Summer' is a short-lived perennial or biennial that thrives in full sun and free-draining soil. Grow in poor to moderately fertile soil and avoid heavy, wet ground, especially in winter, as excess moisture can cause rotting. Water regularly until established, then only during prolonged dry spells, as plants are drought tolerant once mature. Remove faded flower spikes to prolong the display or leave some seed heads to encourage self-seeding.
