We harvested some mullein from the side of an old quarry recently. Dug up a young one and have it in a pot now, cut off a couple flower stalks and put them in water and have been plucking the flowers as they continue to bloom, and made bundles of the leaves to dry. There was so much there we couldn't have taken 2% haha. They love growing up where the ground has been recently disturbed. In this case they were all growing up out of mostly loose rocks downhill from the road. Very useful plant and abundant around us.
How do you use it?
