Common Mullein 200 Organic Seeds *Free Shipping* For Sale

200+ organic Common Mullein seeds. Common mullein is an herbaceous biennial or short-lived perennial with a deep tap root. In the first year plants are low-growing rosettes of felt-like leaves. The whorl of leaves emerge from the root crown at the soil surface. The bluish gray-green, oblong to lanceolate leaves are long, wide, and are densely covered in hairs. Vernalization (exposure to cold temperatures) is required to induce flowering the following spring. In the second year plants produce a flower stalk 5-10 feet tall. The inflorescence is a spike-like raceme, usually singular, but sometimes branched. The alternate leaves on the flower stalk are larger at the base and decrease in size toward the top. The stalk growth is indeterminate and the length of the flowering period is related to stalk height, with taller stalks blooming longer. Small yellow, 5-petaled flowers are grouped densely on the leafy spike. White flowers are seen only rarely. They bloom a few at a time throughout the summer, maturing on the stalk from the bottom to the top in successive spirals. Each individual flower opens before dawn and closes by mid-afternoon. The flowers attract a wide variety of insects (bees, flies, butterflies and other insects, only short- and long-tongued bees are effective in cross pollination. Flowers are also autogamous, so self-pollination occurs at the end of the day if not crossed.I do not buy seeds from outside sources. My plants are hand grown with tender loving care.
