Verbascum (/vɜːrˈbæskəm/), common name mullein (sg. /ˈmʌlᵻn/) (also known as velvet plant), is a genus of about 360 species of flowering plants in the figwort family Scrophulariaceae. They are native to Europe and Asia, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean.
Mullein or "mullein leaf" often refers to the leaves of Verbascum thapsus, the great or common mullein, which is frequently used in herbal medicine.
They are biennial or perennial plants, rarely annuals or subshrubs, growing to 0.5 to 3 metres (1.6 to 9.8 ft) tall. The plants first form a dense rosette of leaves at ground level, subsequently sending up a tall flowering stem. Biennial plants form the rosette the first year and the stem the following season. The leaves are spirally arranged, often densely hairy, though glabrous (hairless) in some species. The flowers have five symmetrical petals; petal colours in different species include yellow (most common), orange, red-brown, purple, blue, or white. The fruit is a capsule containing numerous minute seeds.
Verbascum thapsus (great mullein or common mullein) is a species of mullein native to Europe, northern Africa, and Asia, and introduced in the Americas and Australia.
It is a hairy biennial plant that can grow to 2 meters tall or more. Its small yellow flowers are densely grouped on a tall stem, which grows from a large rosette of leaves. It grows in a wide variety of habitats, but prefers well-lit disturbed soils, where it can appear soon after the ground receives light, from long-lived seeds that persist in the soil seed bank. It is a common weedy plant that spreads by prolifically producing seeds, but it rarely becomes aggressively invasive, since its seeds require open ground to germinate. It is a very minor problem for most agricultural crops, since it is not a very competitive species, being intolerant of shade from other plants and unable to survive tilling. It also hosts many insects, some of which can be harmful to other plants. Although individuals are easy to remove by hand, populations are difficult to eliminate permanently.

Hey everyone! Sorry to my Instagram followers for putting this up late. I wanted to make this video as good as I could, so it took me editing and re-editing it three times to get to where I liked it. Hopefully, you all like it too! Mullein is a great medicinal weed with a lot of practical applications. Due to the antibacterial/antiviral properties of the oil in the leaves and flowers, the plant is a marvelous healer for both internal and external ailments. In this video, I show you how to identify the plant and what uses the plant has. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, I would love to hear them. Be blessed, my friends! — Brendon —————————— Follow me on . . . Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/survivalkraftchannel Twitter: @Survivalkraft Instagram: http://instagram.co...

[2010-09-22] My first fire by friction using mullein : mullein stem as spindle, mullein leaves as tinder (and basswood as fireboard). 100% primitive and natural process. Video also shows some growth stages of the plant (first year rosetta, second year living plant with flower and seeds, standing dry plant). See for instance "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbascum_thapsus" for more precision (various languages available, but details are given only in english and french).

Part 2 available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqyw9XuasuA Years ago, I was reading about unusual walking sticks, and the website talked about a gentleman's cane made from mullein (Verbascum thapsus). When I mentioned this exotic plant to my family, they said, "oh yeah, we had one of those weeds grow in our yard!" Flash forward several years, and I found a patch of mullein to experiment with, and it's pretty amazing stuff! It grows to be seven feet around here, is very lightweight, is really easy to work with, and cleans up to be a beautiful and unique pseudo-wood. This video shows how to pick and prepare the mullein plant for drying. Part II will show my specific "woodworking" process to turn it into a cane or walking stick. I would have made these into one video, but I'm g...
