Common Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) "Roman soldiers are said to have dipped the plant stalks in grease for use as torches. Other cultures use the leaves as wicks. Native Americans and American colonists lined their shoes with leaves from the plant to keep out the cold.” "The Greeks and others later used the leaves as lamp wicks, as the down on the leaves, when dry, was excellent tinder. Prior to the introduction of cotton for wicks, this was a substitute - hence the common name "Candlewick Plant." Another name is “Hag’s Taper” referring to a superstition that witches used it for illumination in their incantations. Quaker ladies who could not use cosmetics were said to rub the leaves on their cheeks to make them red, resembling rouge. The effect would last for a while, however it unfortunately was a reddening caused by the irritation of the skin from the barbed hairs on the leaves. Monet grew V. thapsus in his large garden at Giverny. He particularly liked mixing the ordinary with the exotic and had the plant growing near his Clematis frames and in contrast to the heavy oriental poppies - a combination still presented at Giverny. He let them self-seed and grow where they fell.
