Plant Description

Life Cycle: Perennial
Family: Scrophulariaceae
Origin: Cultivar. Europe, North Africa, West and Central Asia: steppes, forest edges.
Special Features: A reliable purple-flowering, easy-to-grow seed strain with paper-like flowers. As many verbascums are quite tall, 'Violetta' - shorter in statue - is ideally suited for smaller gardens. Vertical flowering spikes. This will freely self-sow around the garden, in a manner like foxgloves. Reblooming after dead heading.
