I didn't see a forum for biennials, so I thought here would be better than perennials.
Neal, I found some Verbascum thapsis that you sent as part of a wildflower trade a few years ago. The are now scatter in a dry spot and if the birds don't eat them, Stan will be trying to dig them out next year. I'm not sure why he hates them so, as they seldom invade the fields - too wet for them.
