Estrealla Voodoo Star Verbena is the biggest, bushiest, largest flowered Verbena available. Voodoo Verbenas beautiful blooms form big clusters on top of lush, olive green mounding foliage. Voodoo Red Star has large clusters of vivid red flowers accented with a peachy white centre star. A floriferous and long flowerer, Voodoo Verbena is exceptionally humidity and heat tolerant and is perfect for borders, beds, mass planting, hanging baskets and containers.
A versatile semi-trailing form of Verbena that is suitable for growing in a garden bed or in containers. The mounding habit and dense foliage create a lush, full display wherever this plant is used. Long-lasting flower clusters appear right up to frost. Perfectly sized for rock gardens and border fronts. Superb for baskets, containers and window boxes. Wonderful for combination plantings.
Verbena (vervain) is a genus in the family Verbenaceae. It contains about 250 species of annual and perennial herbaceous or semi-woody flowering plants. The majority of the species are native to the Americas and Asia.
The leaves are usually opposite, simple, and in many species hairy, often densely so. The flowers are small, with five petals, and borne in dense spikes. Typically some shade of blue, they may also be white, pink, or purple, especially in cultivars.
Some species, hybrids and cultivars of verbena are used as ornamental plants. They are drought-resistant, tolerating full to partial sun, and enjoy well-drained, average soils. Plants are usually grown from seed. Some species and hybrids are not hardy and are treated as half-hardy annuals in bedding schemes. They are valued in butterfly gardening in suitable climates, attracting Lepidoptera such as the Hummingbird hawk-moth, Chocolate albatross, or the Pipevine swallowtail, and also hummingbirds, especially V. officinalis, which is also grown as a honey plant. The hybrid cultivars "Silver Anne" and "Sissinghurst" have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
