Verbascum epixanthinum, the yellow mullein, is a species of flowering plant in the family Scrophulariacee, native to Greece.^[2] Growing to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall, it is an erect herbaceous perennial with grey-green leaves, and dense 70 cm (28 in) spikes of yellow flowers in summer. Though perennial, it may be short-lived.

It has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It is hardy, but requires a sheltered position in full sun. It is also considered by the RHS to be a good plant to attract pollinators.^[3]
