Verbena
Verbena is a tender perennial grown as an annual. As an annual, it is a
vigorous bloomer, thrives in the heat, requires little maintenance and
comes in a wide range of colors. Flowers are borne in clusters 1 to 2
inches across and include white, creamy yellow, pink, red, purple and
shades in between. Many have contrasting white eyes. Verbena is
excellent for hanging baskets, planters and window boxes. Most types
grow no more than a foot tall and are also good in edgings, beds and
rock gardens.
Verbena should be located in full sun or light afternoon shade. They
prefer well-drained soil. Established plants will tolerate heat and
drought well.
