Species Details

Twiggy Mullein is a very rare casual biennial of tips and waste ground. There are no recent records but a series of sightings for the 1960s and 1970s from throughout our area. These include near Breadsall (SK3639), Denby Tip (SK3947), Piper House (SK2880) and Grindleford Tip (SK2478). It is sometimes considered native to south-western England.
