'Peach Champagne'
mullein
Verbascum 'Peach Champagne' brings a soft, fruity glow to summer borders, with torch-like flower spikes rising from a neat rosette of semi-evergreen foliage. Its blooms open in delicate shades of peach, champagne and cream, creating a pastel display that feels refined, warm and quietly celebratory. The upright stems give Verbascum 'Peach Champagne' a clear sense of structure, while the gentle colouring keeps the effect light and romantic. It is especially lovely among silvery foliage, airy grasses and purple-blue companions, where its mellow tones can look luminous rather than sugary.
Elegant but not fussy, Verbascum 'Peach Champagne' suits sunny perennial borders, gravel gardens and relaxed cottage-style planting, where it adds height without heaviness. The basal rosette remains handsome before the flowers appear, then the spires bring movement and vertical rhythm through the warmer months. Plant Verbascum 'Peach Champagne' in full sun and well-drained soil, and avoid overly rich conditions for the best, most graceful growth. With its blend of soft colour and architectural poise, Verbascum 'Peach Champagne' is a charming way to lift a planting scheme, like a glass raised quietly at the back of the border.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
