First Year Mullein
Posted on July 28, 2024 8:00 AM by Gerry Trout
I showed you Mullein last year when I dug a plant out of my friends' garden. I put it in a pot, and it proceeded to bloom and make seeds. Mullein is biennial, meaning that it blooms and goes to seed in its second year.
Well, you know me. I sprinkled seeds that I collected from that plant all over the place. And some plants have come up; this is one growing in the driveway. I gotta pay attention to WHERE I sow seeds. Oh, well.
You can see here that the first year plant is a rosette, and the leaves are very fuzzy.
We will have to wait until next year for the blooms. But you can see them all along the highway right now, blooming. The bloom spikes are about 6 feet tall, and have small yellow flowers at the top. Look for them in your travels.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
