Introduction

If you’re aiming for a timeless yet visually arresting garden, Verbascum Snowy Spires is your go-to flower. This hardy perennial brings white spires adorned with purple stamen, providing both summer vibrance and winter charm.

Pre-Sowing Preparations

Indoor Sowing

• Sow seeds from January to April in deep pots or root trainers filled with seed compost.
• Keep the soil moist and shaded while maintaining a temperature of 21°C.

Caring for Seedlings and Transplanting

After Germination

Reduce the moisture level and grow on in cooler conditions. Acclimatise the seedlings before planting them outdoors 45 cm apart, once the risk of frost has passed.

Direct Outdoor Sowing

For blooms in the following year, you can also sow seeds directly outdoors between July and August.

Ongoing Care

Aftercare and Flower Stalks

To encourage multiple blooms, snip off the faded centre flower stalk just above the emerging side shoots.
