Grow a hardy, visually striking herbal favorite with Mullein Seeds (Verbascum thapsus). This resilient biennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, producing tall flowering stalks, soft silver-green leaves, and bright yellow blooms. Mullein adapts easily to a range of garden conditions, growing well in the ground or in containers. Its traditional use in herbal gardens and its value for pollinators make it a meaningful addition for both practical and ornamental landscapes.
Adaptable, Resilient, and Rich in Garden Value:
- Biennial herb known for its tall flower spikes and large, velvety leaves
- Thrives in full sun, dry to moderate soils, and low-maintenance garden settings
- Suitable for containers, cottage gardens, herb gardens, and naturalized areas
- Vibrant yellow flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators
Why Customers Love Mullein:
- A classic herbal plant with a long history of traditional use
- Striking vertical growth adds height and texture to garden beds
- Tolerates heat, drought, and poor soils once established
- Supports biodiversity by drawing pollinators throughout the blooming season
How to Grow:
Sow mullein seeds in early spring after the danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 6–8 weeks before planting out. Surface-sow the seeds, as they need light to germinate, and keep the soil lightly moist. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. In its first year, mullein forms a rosette of large fuzzy leaves; in the second year, it sends up tall flowering stalks that bloom throughout summer.
Harvest & Use:
Once mature, leaves may be gathered during the growing season and dried for traditional herbal preparations. Flower spikes can be left standing to support pollinators or allowed to dry naturally for seed collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?
Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?
The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
