Product Highlights:

• Hardy and Adaptable: Mullein is a robust biennial thriving in zones 3 through 9, flourishing in poor, well-drained soils and full sun. It’s low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, ideal for gardeners of all experience levels.

• Medicinal and Edible: Traditionally used for respiratory health and inflammation, its leaves and flowers can be brewed into soothing teas or added sparingly to salads. Always consult a professional before medicinal use.

• Pollinator Haven: Its vibrant flower spikes attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, boosting biodiversity and adding life to your garden.

Ideal For:

• Gardeners interested in growing medicinal herbs with historical significance.

• Those creating low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, or naturalistic landscapes.

• Wildlife enthusiasts aiming to support pollinators and local ecosystems.

Planting and Care Instructions:

• • Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy, or gravelly soil; thrives in poor conditions but dislikes heavy clay or waterlogged areas.

  • Watering: Water moderately during the first year to establish roots; mature plants need little water, only during prolonged droughts.

  • Sun Exposure: Requires full sun (6-8 hours daily) for best growth and flowering.

  • Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart to accommodate their 2-7 foot height and 1-2 foot spread. Expect a leafy rosette in year one and a tall flower spike in year two.

  • Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to control self-seeding, as Mullein can spread prolifically. Wear gloves when handling to avoid irritation from fuzzy leaves.

Shipping Live Plants

Live plants, particularly annual vegetables, can be quite delicate. To ensure their safe arrival in optimal condition, we take several precautionary measures:

1. Rigorous hardening off process: We prepare the plants to be resilient enough for their journey by gradually acclimating them to outdoor conditions.

2. Application of organic prebiotics and supplements: We treat plants with natural products to enhance their health and vigor before they make the journey.

3. Development of a strong root system: We prioritize cultivating a robust root system so the plants can quickly adapt and flourish upon arrival.

4. Custom packing materials: We use specially designed packing materials to secure and protect the plants during transit, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring they arrive in the best possible condition.

Our live plants are sold in 3-inch pots and can be shipped to all US states, with the exception of Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington state. We utilize Priority Mail for shipping to ensure a speedy delivery and ship only on Mondays to ensure no plants languish in mailrooms over the weekend.
