Perennial verbenas can provide a long season of color to your flower garden. Verbenas are low-growing plants with showy clusters of flowers in a variety of colors.

The best time of the year to plant the trailing verbena are October through November and February through March. These plants establish best in mild temperatures.

In fall of 2015, the Homestead Purple Verbena was identified as a Louisiana Super Plant by LSU AgCenter.
