Description
The mixture of Verbascum x hybrida 'Cooper Rose' F1 Hybrid, also known as Mullein, is a collection resulting from successful cross-breeding. These have resulted in this variety with warm tones, full of charm. The large spikes, composed of numerous small flowers in fawn, old pink, apricot, and copper orange with an orange centre, bloom from June to August, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. Essential in cottage gardens, it allows you to create rather spectacular large bouquets.
Most Verbascums share this tall and graceful appearance. Some are even nicknamed "Candle of Our Lady" in honour of the Virgin Mary. Their base consists of a rosette of large elliptical leaves, about 20cm (8in) long, with a green-grey colour, sometimes covered in fuzz. From this base emerge stems that can reach almost 2 metres (7 feet) in some species. They end in a spike covered with small 3cm (1in) flowers with five petals and five stamens that open gradually one after the other. This height sometimes requires staking if the mulleins are exposed to wind. It is a short-lived perennial that appreciates well-drained soils and does not tolerate excess moisture in winter. However, it is resistant to drought and therefore prefers sunny locations, while also tolerating partial shade. For a possible flowering in early autumn, you can cut back the stems with faded spikes. The seeds of this carefully selected mixture are sterile, so you won't see it spreading within your garden.
The mixture of Verbascum x hybrida 'Cooper Rose' F1 Hybrid is exceptional and unique. The delightful hues of the spikes warm up the flower beds, and their generous flowering allows you to pick them without hesitation to enjoy indoors. Its size, approximately 140cm (55in), allows it to mingle with tall roses, grasses, as well as purple yarrows and rudbeckias. Its varied colours will complement orange and yellow palettes.

Planting and care
The seeds of Verbascum 'Cooper Rose' F1 Hybrid can be sown in a seed tray under cover in spring from the month of March, and even February for the mildest regions and under a well-exposed shelter, as germination will occur between 20°C (68°F) and 30°C (86°F).
Just cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost (1 to 2mm) that you will keep slightly moist and place in the sun (essential for germination). They will germinate within 1 to 3 weeks. When the young plants are large enough to be moved, transplant them into pots (7-8cm (3in)). Later on, when the plant is well developed, you can put it in place. Choose a rather well-drained soil and a sunny location.
As with other perennials, sowing can also be done in late spring, early summer to transplant the plants in place in autumn.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
