Description

The listing, mullein seed has ended.

Here's another one of my favorites folks. I love this plant for it's beauty as well as it's texture. It is as soft as a rabbit hide and makes a thick leaf. I can't begin to list all the medicinal reasons this plant is used, even today it is used in many commercial applications for asthma and respiratory ailments. The Native Americans smoked it for lung disorders and also used the leaf as a poultice. The leaves and flowers are what is mostly used from this plant. It's also one of the safest and best toilet papers you can use in the forest, haha Very efficient. It sells for around twenty or more dollars a pound when purchasing it dried and thats a good deal. My friend and I are wildcrafters and l like to list the plants that are seldom seen here that we often use or sell.
It does well in most types of soil and prefers full sun with no other plants shading it. The stalks grow in its second year and get up to six feet tall. It is a beautiful plant.

I usually find this plant in open meadows, however, I took this picture of some growing out of a rock outcropping. Aint it pretty?

My seed is all organic and collected in the Appalachian Mountains far from most civilization.
Google mullein and learn of its uses. As always, know what you are picking and never use a plant before researching and know what you are doing. I am listing this for ornamental purposes . Be safe with all plants that you use.

I drive a far piece then walk twice as far to gather my seed and plants. Gas is expensive and so is mailing. I try to list plants that most don't think of and share my knowledge of them. I keep my shipping cost as low as possible, sorry but I have too many four legged critters I must feed and care for, can't afford no two legged ones. Two dollars is cheap for what I do. I could care less about the credits, I'm on here for the friends I've made and to pass my boredom during the winter months when I can't hike. Just trying to share my stash
40 seed at least

yep I'm a stalker!!! lol..;-) Angela I just want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving and i hope you a have a wonderful day.
You know you need to write a book to put all of your experiences in and what to do with the plants, you know there are those of us that NEED a book like what you could put out. You make everything so interesting and the tales that go along with them just makes you want to read and learn more about the natural plants and its potentials for food, medicine or other possibilities. anyhoo. HAPPY HOLIDAYS LADY !!

Ha ha, yep youre stalkin me......You know, I'm getting old, wish I'd shared more of my favorite things a long time ago. Next year I will make an effort to collect a larger variety of seed for those who might be interested in growing them. I'd offer to take you on one of our hikes, HOWEVER, we carry very few comforts with us and never know how many hours or days we might be gone. A two hour hike has often turned into a week long adventure. Plus the fact, we skinny dip in every good swimming hole we come upon. hahahaha. At our age that is not a bonus. We also tend to pick sleeping spots that end up being an adventure in itself. The only thing we fear in these woods are the two legged critters, but they don't venture in our territory too often. We like to go where most wouldn't want to tread to begin with. And did I mention, we cuss worse than sailors........at each other........yeah, we are two cantankerous old ladies.
