This Clary plant pictured is in its second year of growth in #yyj garden. A biennial started from seed in 2020, has a flower stalk that has grown to 6 feet or more. After exploring the two year cycle and benefits of this flowering plant a decision to include it permanently in the garden has been made and it will be put beside another 6 foot tall biennial, the Mullein plant.
The Clary plant has a hint of fur on it’s leaves similar to Mullein, however it flowers are lavender and white with a deep fragrance, while Mulleins flowers are bright yellow with a light sweet smell. The shape of the leaves and stalks are not alike at all. Clary stalks are square and narrow with bud bursts along the stalk. Mullein has a large thick stalk with flowers buds overcrowding the space. Side by stid they will make attractive companions in the garden.
Not only attractive both Clary and Mullein add benefits to one’s lifestyle through their available uses and qualities.
