Apologies to anyone who grew a Verbascum labelled epixanthinum from the 2016/2017 SRGC seed Exchange and was disappointed or puzzled by the result. I have a number of self sown seedlings coming up ( mainly in the paths ). They all look to be hybrids with Verbascum phoeniceum. One growing in a bed has been very floriferous and has produced many secondary flower shoots from the base. Another two are flowering and a fourth has a flower stem developing. They have all been pink. I think they are sterile.
