Excerpt from "How to make a bee-friendly garden" [in the #UK]

"Grow 'woolly' plants

Wool carder bees are one of the UK's largest #SolitaryBees , and they get their name from their practise of collecting hairs from plant leaves and stems, in order to build the cells within their nests. The plants you can grow to provide the 'wool' include #LambsEars (#Stachys) and #mullein (#Verbascum) species."

Looked up how tall Mullein usually grows, median answer is 6 ft, one site says up to 10 ft/ 3m.

My exuberant plant that's ~ 12ft/4m tall is looking down and laughing. Will save the seeds and share around. Heh, I love the idea of thinking of plants as Earth's middle finger to entropy that rules rest of the universe.

A mullein plant with one very long stalk of flowers surrounded by a handful of much shorter stalks. Among other garden plants.
Reference photo for height, I'm 5'10 and barely as tall as the shortest stalk at the base of the taller stalk.
