| One of the easiest and most rewarding of all ground covers, this quick-spreading Verbena blooms from spring well into fall, bringing butterflies by the dozen into the garden, making delightful cuts for nosegays and other small bouquets, and creating a rich carpet of color for the sunny garden floor. You will adore its ease of care and long, long, long season of color! Very low maintenance, this plant puts up with heat, drought, and poor soil once established in the garden. In zones 7-10, where it is perennial, pamper it the first season for years more of easy color; farther north, grow it as an annual. Within the season it spread 3 to 5 feet wide! The dark, intense violet-blue blooms appear on spikes 1 to 3 inches long, eye-catching from a distance and splendid in a large planting. This is a plant to use in groups of 3, 9, or a dozen and more -- the effect is of a rippling carpet of pure color! Reaching 1 to 1 1/2 feet when in bloom, Touch of Style is a magnificent sight. Packet is 50 seeds. |
