| Haven't seen it until now - now I want five for a mid border row :)! |

| weeeeellll! It is a funny blue. Hard to describe - it has slatey overtones and looks slightly grubby. I dunno - if you are addicted to novelty, it is rather extraordinary...but it does not look like a particularly vigorous plant (but I am finding that quite a few of the recently hybridised verbascums are a bit puny). At the moment, I am content to wait a bit and see how well they perform over time (and get a bit cheaper too as it absolutely needs to be grown in generous drifts - it is not a penetrating colour). There are better blue spikes out there. |
