It has naturalized in North America and is commonly found as a weedy species in dry, disturbed soils, often growing in large groups along roadsides, vacant lots, rail tracks, gravel pits, and fallowed fields. Mullein can be easily managed by pulling, as its taproot is not deeply anchored. The dried flower heads persist through winter, making them ideal for dried arrangements. Traditionally used as a respiratory medicine, Mullein also makes an impressive garden specimen and attracts many beneficial insects. This hardy plant prefers full sun and tolerates dry conditions and poor soil fertility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e100 seeds per packet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCommon Mullein is a biennial, forming a leafy rosette in the first year and flowering in the second. Seeds may be direct sown in late fall for natural cold exposure, or cold stratified for 4–6 weeks in the refrigerator if sowing in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"476\" data-end=\"666\"\u003eSow seeds on the soil surface and press lightly—do not cover, as light is required for germination.
