Verbascum phoeniceum 'Flush of White' - 2026

Verbascum phoeniceum 'Flush of White' is a short-lived perennial that forms a rosette of dark green, wrinkled basal leaves. From late spring to early summer, it produces tall, upright spikes of pure white flowers with subtle yellow-orange centres. These flowers rise above the foliage, creating a vertical accent in borders, gravel gardens, or wildlife-friendly areas. Its upright habit and striking flower colour make it an elegant addition to mixed plantings and cottage-style gardens.

Ecologically, 'Flush of White' attracts pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, due to its nectar-rich flowers. It thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun, tolerating chalky or alkaline conditions. The plant is hardy in UK gardens and drought-tolerant once established. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage further blooms and prevent unwanted self-seeding. Its bright white flowers provide both visual impact and ecological value in perennial borders.
