Verbena hybrida ‘Lanai Scarlet’ is a not too distant relative of the fabulous ‘Lanai Up Peach’ – a wel-known award winner renowned for its long-lasting blooms, exceptional disease resistance and stunning displays. Those characteristics are something which both share as, even during the hottest, sunniest months, Verbena hybrida ‘Lanai Scarlet’ holds its colour without fading. Flowering begins in May and continues right through to October and the first frosts. Giant blooms, made up of small, cute flowers grouped together, create the perfect landing pad for bees and butterflies.Blooms will trail from baskets and containers by as much as 50cm, blanketing the serrated foliage beneath. Verbena hybrida ‘Lanai Scarlet’ is also fantastic grown as groundcover, suppressing weeds in beds and borders as it reaches around 25cm tall and spreads between 30-50cm. Prefers to be planted in moist, well-drained soil of any kind except heavy clay. Position in full sun or partial shade with any aspect other than north facing. A tender (H2) annual bedding plant which can withstand temperatures down to around 1-5°C.
