 Hi everyone- I'm new to this forum. Does anyone know what this plant is? It is a year old and has just produced this bendy flower spire which has dark red tiny flowers on. It is about 7 in high and its rosette is about the same.

thank you

Wearside, England.

    Its a verbascum? Oh wow - thought they were bigger than that.  Thanks nutcutlet.

    I was trying to put another pic on GillyL but for some reason it's not giving me the option to select from my computer.

    Looks like a verbascum to me Victoria. A couple more pics would confirm  (or not). Couldn't say which one.
