What customers say
The consensus highlights the exceptional reliability of the Verbena EnduraScape Blue.

Know before you buy
This plant requires full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Without this exposure, the plant will likely become leggy and produce significantly fewer blooms.
It is an excellent choice for both. Its vigorous, spreading habit makes it ideal for filling out window boxes and hanging baskets, while its height makes it a perfect choice for edging garden beds.
One of the best features of the EnduraScape series is that it is largely self-cleaning. It will continue to produce flowers from late spring through autumn without the need for constant deadheading.
For the best coverage, space your plants 12 to 18 inches apart. This allows enough room for the plants to spread and fill in the gaps without overcrowding, which helps maintain good airflow.
Verbena EnduraScape is grown as an annual. While it is noted for its reliability and can sometimes persist through very mild winters, you should plan to replant it each spring in most climates.
