Mullein Flower Stalk
Verbascum L.
The mullein flower stalk is an erect stem arising from a basal rosette, bearing a spicate or racemose inflorescence.
In the reference 10 varieties crop Mullein, where this is mentioned in the description.
Morphologically, the mullein flower stalk is most often an unbranched stem, the height of which varies depending on the species: from dwarf forms (25–50 cm) to tall specimens (up to 1.8–2 meters). When evaluating this trait, the total height of the shoot from the base to the apex and the length of the inflorescence are recorded.
Agrotechnically, large flower stalks may require staking to prevent lodging. Plant maintenance includes the removal of flower stalks after flowering has ended to prevent self-seeding or to stimulate re-blooming. A biological feature of the flower stalks of this genus is a tendency toward fasciation.
