moth Pink is one of the best. To get good results from Verbenas they 
should be pegged down so that the prostrate stems many send out root- 
lets at every joint. By nipping off the tips of the branches they will 
spread and cover the ground with bloom. Give a rich soil and moisture. 
They make excellent house plants by cutting back blooming plants and 
taking them indoors before heavy frosts. July to Oct. See other lists.
