lfisk<p>Very happy Mullein plant here. It's at least 5 feet tall and trying to start four new spikes of flowers. Many of the plants around here settle for just a single spike.

Harshad Sharma<p>Looked up how tall Mullein usually grows, median answer is 6 ft, one site says up to 10 ft/ 3m.</p><p>My exuberant plant that's ~ 12ft/4m tall is looking down and laughing. Will save the seeds and share around. Heh, I love the idea of thinking of plants as Earth's middle finger to entropy that rules rest of the universe.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sharma.io/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sharma.io/tags/mullein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mullein</span></a></p>

Laura Perry<p>Happy mullein plant basking in the winter sunshine. I have a little patch of these helpful medicinal plants back behind the vegetable garden. The first one volunteered there, "planted" by the birds. Since then, I've manually reseeded them every year to be sure the patch keeps going.</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/herbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>herbs</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/HerbGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HerbGarden</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/mullein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mullein</span></a></p>
