Thousands of Verbena at Mount Folly !

Verbena is a wonderful plant that deserves a place in any garden. 

We sometimes struggle to maintain our verbena display, but that's because they grow like crazy.  Please help to take these off our hands and get them in a pot, so that they can dazzle you in your garden rather than form a tangled hedge of verbena on the shelf, which does not do the plant's potential justice!

Verbena is a great mixing plant for baskets and tubs. Tolerant of hot situations and has a great colour range. 3 of the Lanai varieties are marked upright, which can give height and width to any basket or pot arrangement. All the other varieties are trailing.
