Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 14-30 days at 65-75°F (18-24°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to their final location, spacing 18-24 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWand mullein thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. After establishment, it is drought tolerant and requires minimal care. Remove spent flower spikes to encourage additional blooms or allow them to self-seed for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Wand Mullein (Verbascum virgatum) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824698360118,"sku":"FOLIA2-1019","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6661941966_ttbf.jpg?v=1793004181","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/wand-mullein-seeds-verbascum-virgatum-25-seeds-tall-biennial-yellow-flower-spikes","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
