The mullein 'Sixteen Candles' seedling is ready for planting in the flowerbed upon delivery. This undemanding perennial will most appreciate a hot and sunny location. The right choice of soil is crucial for it, which must be well-drained, light, and sandy or gravelly. If you have heavy soil in your garden, be sure to add a good dose of sand or fine gravel for lightening when planting. Plant the seedlings at a distance of approximately 40 centimeters from each other, which corresponds to roughly 4 to 6 plants per square meter. This sufficient space will ensure good air circulation between the plants and support their healthy growth without the need for additional support.
Since it is a distinctly drought-loving plant, you do not have to worry about watering almost at all after it roots. It needs water only during periods of truly long and extreme drought. Excessive moisture, especially over winter, is its greatest enemy and can lead to rotting of the roots. Mullein is equally modest when it comes to nutrients. It grows naturally in poorer soils, so it does not require any regular fertilizing. A huge advantage for every grower is the fact that this plant does not suffer from any common diseases and garden pests avoid it, so you can do completely without chemicals.
During May and June, you can look forward to a flood of lemon-yellow flowers. Once the plant finishes blooming, we recommend performing a so-called cut back, i.e., removing the faded shoots. This step will rejuvenate the plant, increase its vitality, and very often provoke it to bloom again in the later part of summer. Mulleins belong among short-lived perennials, which means they will last in the same place for only a few short years. However, it excellently self-seeds on the site, so you will not lose its presence in the garden. You do not have to worry about it before winter, it is fully frost-resistant down to -23 °C and reliably overwinters without any protection.
If you are considering growing on a balcony or terrace, Mullein can also be grown in containers. Given its height of 100 to 120 centimeters and a strong root system, choose a truly deep and stable pot. Do not forget to place a strong drainage layer of expanded clay or gravel at the bottom. As a substrate, use a mixture mixed with sand so that water can always drain quickly after watering. In a pot, the substrate will dry out somewhat faster than in the open ground, so check the moisture occasionally, but make sure that the saucer under the pot never stands in water.
The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. 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.
