Verbascum questions


I'm thinking about my failures with verbascum this past year and wondering
how to take a different approach.  Aren't verbascum Helen Johnson and the
recent showy varieties supposed to be perennial?  In my garden, they seemed
to die after a short stint.  I had one in a part-sun, medium water spot,
another in a full sun lower water spot, and one in a pot in my holding
area.  They all seemend to shrivel up and die.

What do you all suggest before I give up?  What conditions do they seem to
thrive in?

P.S.  I am in the cursed 364 day a year growing zone with no seasons, no
winter break, and no time to sit by the fire and read catalogs.  I could
use a little sympathy here....  : }
