- Grows like a weed! Started out as a mat with tiny leaves, turns into stalks 10" high or more. Feels sticky to the touch, like it grips the hand —not like it's covered with sap.

- Hi Botanists (Arthur?)! I'm trying to get a better sense of the difference between V. corymbosum and fuscatum. I'm seeing conflicting information regarding the presence of leaf hairs (nerves only versus throughout) and the color of hairs (FNA mentions brown-gray to brown hairs but most plants I've seen and confirmed with floral/fruit characteristics display white to gray hairs). Does hair color change with drying? What characteristics are most helpful when flowers/fruits are not present? Thanks
