homestead purple verbena

17 years ago

Does anyone have experience with 'homestead purple' verbena? I can recall seeing it sold as an annual in SE PA, but some places have it being hardy in Zone 6. Just wondering if anyone has grown it and if it comes back each year, or maybe just the mild winters like last year. Thanks!

I planted some in the late spring of 2005...I wish I could say that I enjoyed it this past growing season, but it was a no-show here in my 6b gardens.
