The Verbascum thapsus bloom is very interesting viewed close up with its mix of colors and fuzzy petals. Shown here blooming in late December. (San Antonio, Tx.)

Blooming in December, this Verbascum thapis was a pleasant surprise in an otherwise bloomless landscape. (San Antonio, Tx.)

A member of the Snapdragon family (Scrophulariaceae). A stocky biennial that can reach a height of 6' with large, woolly leaves and a spike of densly packed yellow flowers. The 1st year leaves form a basal rosette with each leaf up to 1' long. The 2nd year, a flower stalk emerges with alternate leaves scattered along the stem. The short, tubular flowers open to about 1" across with 5 yellow lobes. Native of Europe. Sometimes referred to as "poor man's toilet paper."

I love this plant! Last year it appeared next to a stump in our yard. At that time it was just small and velvety. Boy were we surprised this year! It's over 6 feet now.

First-year plants are attractive enough for the formal flower garden; this one could have been.
