Verbena 'Superbena Dark Blue'

Trailing Verbena 'Superbena Dark Blue', Glandularia 'Superbena Dark Blue', Verbena 'Usbenal8', Superbena Series


Noted for its vigor, heat, drought and mildew tolerance, Verbena 'Superbena Dark Blue' is a trailing Verbena with masses of large clusters of rich violet-blue flowers over a long season. Blooming continuously from summer to frost, the blossoms are so profuse that they literally smother the foliage of oval, toothed, mint-like leaves, creating an endless floral carpet. Perfect for the front of the border or as spillers in combination planters, this Verbena is also a great choice as colorful groundcover. Attractive to butterflies, the flowers are ignored by hungry deer. A top performer in annual trials.

  • Grows up to 6-12 in. tall (15-30 cm) and vigorously spreading up to 18-30 in. wide (45-75 cm).
  • This verbena is a tender perennial that is hardy to zone 8 but may be grown as an annual in cooler climates.
  • Thrives in full sun or part shade, in average, well-drained soils. Tolerates dry soils and lower fertility. Normally either an application of slow release fertilizer or amending with compost is enough to keep the plant happy.
  • Perfectly suited for use as ground covers, edging plants, containers and hanging baskets, from which their flower-laden stems cascade spectacularly.
  • No deadheading required. While naturally well branched, trimming them back will encourage additional branching, fuller plants, and ultimately more flowers.
