Description
Verbena ver-BEE-nuh
Verbena flowers come in an array of cheerful hues including red, pink, apricot, lavender, purple, blue, white and bicolors. Clusters of small star-shaped flowers on mounding, trailing or upright plants are complemented by green lanced-shaped leaves with finely toothed edges.
Use verbenas in containers, hanging baskets, borders or mass plantings. Highly attractive to butterflies and other insect pollinators, this durable plant is tolerant of different soils, heat and drought. Most are grown as annuals, but some common types are hardy in USDA zones 7-11.
