Verbascum lychnitis

Verbascum lychnitis, commonly known as white mullein, is a biennial or short-lived perennial in the figwort family. It is distinguished by its non-clasping stem leaves with short stellate hairs and loosely arranged white or yellow flowers.

This species is native to Europe and parts of Asia, where it typically grows in dry, disturbed areas, grasslands, and roadsides. It has also become naturalized in certain regions of North America.

It is occasionally cultivated as an ornamental plant in wildflower gardens for its tall, attractive flower spikes. The blooms also serve as a nectar and pollen source for various pollinators.
