Mullein
Verbascum thapsus
43.712, -70.1484
Field Notes
Description:
The leaves are soft and near the ground.
Mulleins live for 2 years and then the so it is biennial.
There are yellow flowers on the stalk.
The stalk can grow to be 10 feet tall.
The leaves are pale green.
Habitat:
I doesn't like to grow in the shade.
It likes to grow in places where the land has been burned.
Notes:
I spotted this plant while my class was on a field trip to Little Chebeague Island in Maine. It was early spring so the plant was very small. When we go back again I am expecting that it will be much bigger, but the stalk may not come up until later.
