This dwarf variety has all the character of its larger parents but only reaches half the size! Verbena bonariensis ‘Royal Dreams’ produces luminescent, mauve-pink blooms in tight, rounded clusters. The flowers are borne throughout summer, lasting well into autumn. This compact hardy perennial makes a fabulous addition to mixed containers and the front of borders, thriving in sun or light shade. It makes a superb choice for a wildlife area where it is a magnet for pollinating insects. Height and spread: 60cm (24”).
Growing Information
Pot up Verbena bonariensis plants and grow them on in frost free conditions, for transplanting into borders later on. When all risk of frost has passed and plants are well grown, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Plant outdoors in a sheltered position in any moist, well drained soil in full sun.
