VERBENA (pa) Grp. 2 
Verbena colors are so bright and 
effective, they are so easily grown 
in any sunny soil, and the flower- 
ing season so long —almost the 
year-around in Southern Califor- 
nia, where they are treated as per- 
ennials—that their great popularity 
among gardeners is easily under- 
stood.
