Verbascum phoeniceum 'Violetta'
« on: October 22, 2014, 03:00:09 PM »

I collected seed from my Verbascum 'Violetta' last summer and raised a lot of new plants. The first of these started flowering yesterday and to my surprise are something different, although very nice and I'm not at all disappointed. I wonder does anyone know if this form segregates or perhaps the bees have hybridised it with my V. chaixii album, which the garden is full of, although these are a little later flowering? I'm thrown a little by the fact that there are three plants flowering and all appear to be identical, without variation between them...
