Not Verbascum. It is Sisyrinchium striatum. https://davisla.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/sisyrinchium-striatum-flower.jpg https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Sisyrinchium+%27Striatum&rlz=1C1GNAM_en-GBGB687GB687&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi9pry6w5XUAhUmL8AKHWsSAAAQ_AUICigB&biw=1536&bih=759

Didn't think it was a verbascum, but didn't know what it was either! It's lovely. Where did you see that? _________________ Be humble, for you are made of earth Be noble, for you are made of stars

A friend of mine asked me as it was in her garden and she didn't know what it was.
