Culture
Verbena EnduraScape™ Purple Fizz is the first verbena that’s hardy through the hottest days of summer and can take the cold down to the low teens, and still rebloom in Spring. Brings lasting color to landscapes all season long. Superior branching: finished product has a full habit with a high bloom count in gallon containers. Blooms long into Summer and won’t cycle out of color in your garden. Verbena EnduraScape™ Purple Fizz requires minimal care. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continuous blooming. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce as the plant becomes drought-tolerant.
