This pollinator-friendly plant offers a glorious show of bold, pink blooms from June to August. Dense, erect spires of flowers rise above a clumpy rosette of evergreen foliage to create a summery spectacle. Your Verbascum phoeniceum ‘Rosetta’ adds a vivid bolt of colour to your rockery, border or container. These delightful spears of saucer-shaped blooms are also a must for cottage gardens and an excellent source of tall-stemmed cuttings for your vases. This variety tolerates dry conditions and will naturalise in your garden. The genus name is derived from the Latin word for bearded plant and refers to your plant’s hairy foliage. A sunny location with a south or west-facing aspect best suits your verbascum. This hardy biennial or short-lived perennial, also prefers chalky or loamy, alkaline, well-drained soil. Your Verbascum phoeniceum ‘Rosetta’ reaches a maximum height and spread of 90cm by 50cm. Verbascum phoeniceum ‘Rosetta’ has an RHS hardiness rating of H6.
