Anyone who doubts that this plant is a menace is being very silly. Medicinal value aside, it is aggressive and ruins meadows. Fortunately, a couple of summer's spent digging them up and bagging seed heads makes a real difference. I have seen them offered in seed packets by the company "Seeds of Change." It is illegal to sell them in Colorado, as they are on the list of noxious plants.
When handling dried spikes of mullein, keep them upright. Otherwise they act like gigantic pepper shakers, spilling seeds everywhere.
