Thank you for the offer, Dave, but now I'm thinking it's too late in the season for transplanting. We've had a couple over 100 days lately. I think I'll try collecting the seeds this fall and try for a seed trade.

I would love to add these plants to my garden...if anyone has these to trade plmk.. Thanks...:)

Sorry, I'm fairly new to gardening and I don't have a very large collection of plants yet, so I haven't made up a trade list yet. Ok, I have to trade: purple and white coneflower, a cultivar of sedum called "meteor", mulberry tree cuttings, lily of the valley, and euonymous (did I spell that right?) cuttings.

Hi growitnow...most of those (and most of the verbenas sold on the market) are the trailing type...usually get a foot or so tall...and 2-3 feet spread. I love most of them, but if you are looking for something different, try verbena bonariensis...you've probably seen them all over, they have become more and more popular over the years. Also, not sure of your climate for sure, but threre is verbena lilacina, a california native that forms a small shrub (about 2x3 feet) of finely disected leaves and lovely lavender flowers off and on all summer...hardy to about 20°. Also, there is verbena ridiga...which is more upright, but a bit more open and sprawling. If you want a good spreader, though, homestead purple is great...although High Country Gardens introduced an heirloom verbena with better cold-tolerance this year called "Annie" i think...it looks just like the variety my gran used to grow back in Nebraska and was practically a weed...but i never saw that variety anywhere other than her farm...i always assumed it was some crazy chance hybrid...one thing is for sure, you can rarely go wrong with verbena...they practically thrive on neglect.
