It is a genus of the Scrophulariaceae family found mainly along the Mediterranean coast, and there are about 250 species, but in Japan only a few species are cultivated for flower beds and for cut flowers, and are treated as spring-sown biennials. The common mullein has dense soft hairs all over the plant, an upright stem that can reach a height of 2m. In summer, the apex of the stem bears a spike of yellow flowers with five lobes in the corolla, which bloom from the bottom up. There are also smaller, almost hairless mulleins, and hybrids with different flower colors. Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
