Moth Mullein (Verbascum blattaria)
A biennial that can grow as tall as five feet and have either white or yellow flowers. Moth mullein is found throughout most of the United States and grows in fields, pastures, roadsides and other disturbed or abandoned areas. This plant is growing in the garden next to the strawberries, and will have to be removed soon. We've also found the yellow variety down in the woods.
Several online sources (including the USDA) say that moth mullein is an introduced species. Missouri Plants says it is native. I dunno.
