mullein seeds are small and hard and round and black. those arent. mullein seeds also arent in a capsule like you show. try a google search for mullein seeds.
plant ID is not as easy as finding a pic online that looks like what you have. lots of plants look very similar in certain phases of their lives. it is a lot easier to exclude something from an ID, than it is to identify it with certainty. hence my confidence that your seeds are not mullein seeds, though I dont really know what your plant is. sorry.
good luck

First off, I have found this plant in my yard in the past. Living in Quebec, and decided to let it grow for once this year, since I am working on a butterfly garden project. I figured weeds was the way to go, along with some non-native nectar rich Buddleia bushes. Anyway, this plant is totally a Mullein lookalike, as I was, like the original poster, convinced for some time that I was growing Verbascum Thapsus . Both are excessively similar. Long stalks, similar leaves, flowers both in form and color. Heights as well. But every posters here were correct, the seed pod is very different! By using the picture search on google, I found this...
Common Evening Primrose
If you scroll down to the illustration on your right, the seed pods are unmistakable. Gorgeous plant, I am totally going to harvest these next year, along with some Lobelia Cardinalis

Glad to help! This post made me find the site, after all.
