Great Mullein Verbascum thapsus 150 Seeds Heirloom- Non GMO - Open Pollinated

Fast and easy germination

I honestly did not know a lot about mullen until my neighbor hooked me into the health benefits that can come from the plant. The seeds, while tiny, were plentiful and allowed me to plant easily among the pots. The instructions on the package for planting were very straightforward! Now to be patient and wait for them to grow!

Great Mullein is one of my favorite plants. I always enjoy seeing it when we go out to Montana. I gave the seeds a cold treatment in the freezer and they sprouted right away. Now I have nice looking fuzzy leaf plants in containers in the back yard here in Houston. I'm sure it can handle the heat but I'll have to wait and see if it can handle the humidity and if there is some summer bug that loves great mullein. The cold treatment: I mixed the seeds in wet sand in a yoghurt carton and put it in the freezer for 2 months. This is the first time I've done this and in this case it worked very well.

I have a bit of a green thumb. I can grow plants from seeds, propagate, and even bring some plants from death's door back to a full, vibrant plant. I start veggies, herbs, and fruits EVERY year. Sometimes I use plants, sometimes seeds. Out of this ENTIRE pack of seeds, with a few different growing methods - following instructions on the back -not even one seed sprouted. I have been looking for mullein for years and was so excited. VERY disappointed.

I did a lot of research on sprouting these seeds and I only got 1. There’s very few seeds in this package so I’m gonna put some straight in the ground and hope next year they do there thing instead of in a green house. 3 stars was literally just for the amount of seeds. I buy a lot of seeds on Amazon and sometimes you just get a package with very little.

This is one plant I discovered on our property in Florida. I went home to research it and discovered what an amazing plant Mullein is, especially Great Mullein. A few days later I returned, hoping to harvest some of the leaves and flowers, but the plant had been totally devoured by wild life. I have looked for it in the wild since then and found one rosette but it disappeared quickly also. It is exciting to be to finally be able to grow all that I want. FYI: My research revealed some Native Americans smoked Mullein leaves with tobacco to clear out their lungs from the effects of tobacco. Early settlers and pioneers conveniently grew it near the outhouse. Once the tiny hairs are removed from the big soft leaves, it can be used as TP. Other forms of Mullein do not possess the big soft leaves of Great Mullein.

Mullien! The pack of seeds seem like they don't wanna go. Oopsie! I have had them undergo light since day one, and they seem to pop up, and then they die. Not happy with the results of this. I think I'll buy a new pack elsewhere, and throw them out in the backyard and see how that works. I really wanted this to happen because both of my children smoke.

I didn't have any luck with these, but it could be something I did or didn't do, so three stars.
