Vintage White Mullein Botanical Print – 1751 Plantae Selectae Illustration

Tall, elegant, and full of graceful yellow-white blooms, the White Mullein (Verbascum lychnitis) has long been admired for its wild beauty and ability to thrive in rugged landscapes. This 18th-century botanical print, originally featured in Plantae Selectae (1751), captures the plant’s towering flower spikes, textured leaves, and rust-colored stamens, details that make it a standout in meadows and cottage gardens.

Though the inscription on the print references "Blattaria", botanical sources confirm this illustration as Verbascum lychnitis, a species known for its tall flowering stems and adaptable nature. Native to Europe and Asia and naturalized in North America, White Mullein is a symbol of resilience, thriving in poor soils and dry conditions while bringing soft, rustic charm to the landscape.

This historical reproduction beautifully showcases the plant’s delicate features, making it a perfect addition for those who love botanical history, wildflowers, and vintage-inspired decor.
