Verbascum ‘Snow Maiden’ is an elegant white-flowering verbascum producing tall, graceful spires covered in pure white blooms with delicate golden centres. A beautiful hardy perennial grown from seed, it brings height and structure to cottage gardens, perennial borders and cut flower gardens while retaining a wonderfully light, airy appearance.
The slender flower spike add vertical interest and movement to natural, garden-style arrangements.  Flowering through summer and thriving in sunny, well-drained positions, this beautiful white Verbascum is particularly effective planted in groups where its elegant flower spires can rise through softer planting.
