		Common mullein is tall [to 2.4 m (8 ft)] with a strong stem and few or no branches.
		Though mullein species are grown occasionally in flower gardens for the startling appearance of their long flowering spikes, their flowers tend to open one at a time or in small groups (7) and are short-lived (6); this insures effective pollination by bees but gives a ragged appearance during flowering.
		Mullein is found throughout the United States and in southern Canada, in the British Isles, and throughout Europe as far north as Norway and as far east as the Western Himalayas; it has been reported in Asia (6).
