This stunning perennial catches the eye with its upright spikes of peachy flowers that add vertical interest to sunny borders or cottage gardens. Verbascum ‘Peach Champagne’ thrives in poor, well-drained soil and requires minimal nutrition to produce its impressive blooms. Starting with a rosette of leaves, the tall flower stems rise like torches, making it a standout choice for gardeners looking to create a striking display. Ideal for adding structure and height, this Verbascum is perfect for sunny spots where it can showcase its vibrant colours.
It is worth keeping in mind that these plants are mainly biennial, so although they usually self-seed freely, the plant will only live for two years.



  • Garden care: Apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch around the base of the plant in autumn to protect from winter extremes, taking care not to cover the crown. Stake in spring with bamboo canes or twiggy prunings before the flowers appear. Mullein moth caterpillars can be a problem, so pick off the insects in early June as soon as they appear. Remove faded flower spikes.
