Description:
Turn up the color (and the toughness). Red EnduraScape™ Verbena is bred for blazing summers and long bloom windows—staying in flower when others fade. Its superior branching forms a full, low mound that spills beautifully over edges, smothers weeds, and keeps the crimson clusters coming from spring to fall. Heat tolerant, drought savvy once established, and easy to grow, it’s a no-fuss way to brighten beds, baskets, and rock gardens.
Care Tips: Plant in full sun and well-drained soil; avoid soggy sites. Water to establish, then water deeply but infrequently; allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Light monthly feeding in spring–mid summer boosts blooms; avoid heavy nitrogen. Deadheading is optional but can encourage even tidier, continuous color. No pruning required; trim lightly if needed to refresh after peak flushes.
Landscape Uses:
Borders and edging • Containers and window boxes • Rock gardens • Retaining wall spillers • Pollinator plantings (butterflies + bees) • Mass groundcover for seasonal color
