SISKIYOU - fine woodland groundcover that spreads easily. Deciduous.
UNDERWOOD - part to full shade. Clumps of compound leaves from a creeping rhizome.
SCHENK - for all climates. V. hexandra grows below ground as a belligerent spread of wiry rootstocks. Above ground, a 14
inch deep flock of elegantly segmented sylvan leaves and panicled white flowers. It grows almost as fast as ivy and is
certainly as invasive, but it has its uses in rough woodsy places. Will even cover dry ground under pines and other
conifers, and that may be the best place for it.

REFERENCE NOTES:
Garden Companion - This is a great border selection with interesting woolly, gray-green leaves and yellow or white flowers
with purple stamens. An unusual color combination that blends nicely with other summer flowers. Mullein does not do well in
cool, wet soils. Though they are not long-lived perennials, they do self-sow readily.
Fine Gardening May '99 - array of colors, creamy antique white, palest melon, and dusky rose with smoky purple stamens.
Blossoms last one day, numberous buds on 30 in. spike, multiple spikes for several weeks of bloom, late spring and again in
cooler weather early fall. Cut back to the ground after flowering. Needs good to excellent drainage, full sun to very
light shade, prefers dry weather to wet, hardy zone 5-8, easy to grow from seed, will bloom first year from seed, short lived
perennial (2-3 years). By Pam Baggett, Cedar Grove, NC.
Southern Living Garden Book - list several species of Verbascum for the US, MS or LS, does not list 'Southern Charm', but
possibly a cultivar of V. phoeniceum with leaves smooth on top and hairy underneath, flower spikes purple 2-4 ft. Short
lived in hot humid climates, cut spent flowers for re-bloom, full sun, moderate water.

USDA HARDINESS ZONE RANGE: 1 to 11
SOUTHERN LIVING HEAT ZONE: LIGHT PREFERENCE: full sun to partial shade
SOIL pH, moisture & fertility: pH Neutral, Well-drained, Dry, Rich, Moderately Rich
Propagation: Stem cuttings, Seeds
REFERENCE NOTES:
HARDINESS: Half-hardy Annual. An old-fashioned Southern favorite with a new twist. The new hybrids of the genus Verbena
have more to offer in heat tolerance, flower profusion and color variety. Try 'Silver Anne' for stunning pink flower clusters
which begin an intense pink and then fade to a creamy, soft pink or 'Peaches and Cream' for a palette of soft yellow and
creamy peach blooms. Remember that removing faded blooms will encourage new flower buds to form. Foliage is dark green and
has an attractive mounded form. The fragrance is also unexpectedly sweet and pleasing. Cover seeds with black plastic after
they are sown as verbena germinates in darkness. May be grown as a perennial in Zones 9 to 11. Try not to wet the foliage
when watering as this could promote mildew.

*MARSHALL - May self seed. will not survive Tallahassee summers, treat as annual, planting in winter for early spring bloom.
*GC: lists this as an annual for zones 1 to 11. "HARDINESS: Hardy Annual. Perennial usually grown as an annual. Blooms are
a miniature version of a classic pansy bloom with distinctively marked petals. Effective as a border plant for vegetable
beds or flower beds and will self-sow. They have great value as a winter-blooming bedding plant in the tropical climates of
Zones 9-11."
*RODALE'S ANNUAL- They are perenials, but lose vitality in second year, so must be treated as annual. Difficult to start
from seed because they must have cool weather. Germinates at 50 degrees.
*HORTICULTURE - April 95, pg 30 - Says germination is 59-65 degrees
*Lawrence - in the South will not survive summer heat.
