Verbena Lavender Basket Plants

Trailing aggressively over the edges of a pot, the Verbena Lavender is a mat-forming hybrid that provides a brilliant, soft-coloured landing pad for flying insects. It has no discernible scent to humans, but its flat floral clusters are highly attractive and easily accessible to passing bees and butterflies. It is a fantastic, non-hardy performer that requires full sun to keep its trailing stems tight and densely packed.

This incredibly thirsty plant requires a highly consistent, ‘normal’ level of moisture to sustain its massive flush of blooms. Give the container a generous, deep watering the exact moment the top soil feels dry to the touch, making sure the main root ball never completely dries out. Maintaining this spongy moisture level ensures the plant continues to produce nectar-rich flowers until the cold weather arrives.

Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
