Verbena Hybrid, Trailing Verbena 'Imagination'

A perennial ground cover here in Southern California. It's currently late January, and my plants are in full bloom. A lot of verbenas in ...Read MoreSoCal which are planted in the ground are prone to mildew, and Imagination seems to be the happy exception. The dark purple flowers seem to float above the foliage. It's hard to dead head this plant because it always seems to be in bloom, but it can be mowed with a weed whacker and will bounce right back.

I purchased some of these for use in some large pots on my deck. They were hardy, and bloomed off and on throughout the summer and are s...Read Moretill producing blooms since we have not yet had a hard freeze. They spread out nicely in the container, worked well with dusty miller, but crowded out the dahlberg daisies as the summer wore on. Hope to find some for my containers again next spring!

Very attractive and tough plant that is low growing with a spreading habit. I had got some mixed wildflower seeds a few years ago and aft...Read Moreer taking them out after one season, two verbenas sprouted up--one each lavender-pink and white. The bright lavender-pink color is outstanding. The photograph is of the plant in mid-May.

A single plant has a spreading habit and flowers continuously through the summer. It's spread is over 1metre (3 ft+) in every direction within four months and can be trimmed to keep it neat. As the stem grows, new flowers keep appearing around the tip. It takes extremes of heat very well.The albino variety is more sensitive to the heat, and while the lavender-pink is doing well in June heat of over 110 degrees F, the white is drooping.

I love this plant! I bought one for my Ft Lauderdale garden and it quickly spread to about 6 feet in diameter. I took several cuttings ...Read Moreand they rooted very easily in terrible sandy soil. I've been very impressed with it! I've read that it is sometimes a perennial in this area and look forward to seeing if it sticks around. I sure hope it does.

I bought this plant last summer and it was a surprising little trooper! It spread almost 3 feet wide and bloomed continuously all summer ...Read Morelong with little care or dead heading even in very hot weather. The flowers are bright purple-blue and the foliage is attractive as well. I just bought 3x as many (9 plants) today when I saw them available here again this spring. Give it room to grow and enjoy! It is an annual in my zone 5a.

I have been pleasantly pleased with this plant. I planted four in a corner border one afternoon and by the next morning something had ea...Read Moreten them all to the ground! (rabbit?? hungry snails??) Three of the four bounced back the same Spring and bloomed all Summer. A very tough plant that seems to bloom better with infrequent watering. Mine provide Summer to Fall color in zone 6 in fast-draining clay soil.
