Verbascum 'White Domino' - 2026

Verbascum 'White Domino' is a striking perennial that forms a neat rosette of grey-green, softly felted basal leaves. From early to mid summer it sends up tall, unbranched spikes densely packed with pure white, saucer-shaped flowers each marked by a subtle purple eye and golden stamens. The blooms open in succession along the stem, creating a long-lasting vertical display that brings brightness and architectural interest to sunny borders, gravel beds and cottage-style plantings. It provides an elegant backdrop for lower-growing perennials and works well in mixed schemes where a clear, luminous accent is needed.

Ecologically, 'White Domino' is highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies, offering abundant nectar and pollen through the summer months. It prefers a sheltered, sunny position in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and once established tolerates dry conditions. Maintenance is straightforward: remove spent spikes to prolong flowering and divide congested clumps every few years to maintain vigour. It also makes an excellent cut flower and combines well with blues and purples for high-contrast planting.
