Leaning tower of verbascum. This plant looks a little silly. It must be 8 or 9 feet tall and keeps bonking be on the head when I try to get into that garden to look at things. It's a self sown seedling...from V.bombyciferum (I think).The bees LOVE it... but unfortunately the weevils do too. I sprayed a few times but now that it's blooming I'm afraid to kill the bees and other pollinators that visit it.
