Plant the seedling of the mullein 'Pink Domino' ideally in full sun, where its beauty will fully manifest. Mulleins are drought-tolerant and rather short-lived perennials, sometimes just biennials. A lot depends on choosing the right location. They will thrive best in well-drained, light gravelly and sandy soils. Rather avoid heavy and waterlogged clay soils; the plants' roots would rot in them over winter, which is a frequent reason for their death. Plant the seedlings in the flower bed in spring or early autumn at a spacing of 40 centimeters, which corresponds to roughly five to seven plants per square meter. This spacing will reliably ensure adequate air circulation around the attractive grey-green leaves.
Once the mullein takes root, caring for it is absolutely minimal and even a complete beginner can handle it. It requires watering only during truly extreme drought, otherwise it handles moisture on its own. It likewise does not need any fertilizing; in soil that is too rich, it could lose its compact shape and begin to break. Although it grows to a height of over one meter, it needs no support. A huge advantage of this cultivar is that it does not suffer from any diseases and pests avoid it by a wide margin. You can thus enjoy a healthy and strong plant without the need to use any sprays.
The inflorescences appear in May and June and attract numerous pollinators to the garden. After blooming, we can cut the plants back so they sprout and bloom again. This cutting back will significantly support overall vitality and extend the lifespan of this otherwise rather short-lived perennial. You don't have to worry about frost hardiness; the plant will reliably handle winter temperatures down to a deep -23 °C. Over winter, however, it is absolutely essential to prevent moisture accumulation at the roots, as winter wetness is its greatest enemy.
Mullein can also be successfully grown in containers and spacious window boxes, which is great news for owners of sunny terraces. For pot cultivation, choose a sufficiently deep container because mullein forms a long taproot. At the bottom, do not forget to pour a thick layer of drainage made of pebbles or expanded clay and use a very well-drained substrate mixed with sand. In a container, the plant will need slightly more frequent watering than in a flower bed, but always let the substrate dry out perfectly before the next watering. Also, don't forget that you can cut gorgeous bouquets for a vase from this plant; just cut the stems when half of the flowers are fully open.

Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
