Why We Love It:
This vigorous trailing verbena delivers nonstop color for months, forming a full, branching habit covered in blooms from spring well into fall. Heat tolerant and drought resilient once established, it keeps performing through the hottest part of summer when many other plants begin to fade. Its trailing form softens edges beautifully in containers, rock gardens, and sunny borders while attracting constant pollinator activity.

Additional Info:
Thrives in sunny locations with excellent drainage. Space plants approximately 18" apart to allow room for spreading and full coverage. Occasional feeding and light trimming during the growing season help encourage continuous flowering and dense growth.
