Verbascum olympicum is a rosette-forming perennial with attractive grey woolly leaves. From early to late summer, tall candelabra-like spikes of yellow blooms are produced. It usually takes about two to three years for the plant to flower and when it does, the plant often dies afterwards. However, they do self-seed copiously and, if possible, leave seedlings where they appear naturally as they are very drought-tolerant.

These plants are amazing. They are like triffids but soft and furry.
