Well I planted 4 of these last fall and the first one just shot up a stalk and started blooming almost overnight! I am thrilled though I must say the colors are much more muted than the pictures on the Park's website (and other sites that used the same shot). It was odd because I was looking at White Flower Farm's catalog this winter and they had this same verbascum. I remember thinking the colors looked much more pale than what I was expecting to see. Turns out that what is blooming looks MUCH more like the WFF version. I really hate when they "doctor" the pictures!!! But I'm not complaining- still love this plant. :)
