Re: Germinating Verbena Bonariensis

In the book, From Seed to Bloom How to Grow over 500 Annuals, Perennials & Herbs by Eileen Powell, Story Communications/Garden Way Publishing, 1994.
 
Germination of Verbena bonariensis and V. rigida.  Put seeds in plastic bag along with moist seed starting mix and refrigerate for 2 weeks.  Sow as usual.  She also states that the seed requires darkness and a temp of 65-75 degrees.  Also says that germination can take from 14 to 90 days!
 
Two other books that are full of info are:
 
Growing Plants from Seed by Doc & Katy Abraham, Lyons & Burford Publishers, 1991
 
Propagation Handbook, Basic Techniques for Gardeners by Geoff Bryant, Stackpole Books,1992
 
Found these at my local library and would by any/all of them.
