Red Empress Sun Verbena (Verbena 'Empress Sun Red') is the ultimate choice for high-impact, true-red color that doesn't quit. This variety features intense, fiery red blossoms that stand out from a distance. Like all Empress Sun selections, it is engineered for an upright and vigorous growth habit that provides excellent coverage in the garden without the flopping associated with trailing types.

As a bold member of the Verbena genus, 'Red' is a top-tier attractant for hummingbirds. It is highly resistant to powdery mildew and thrives in the most exposed, sunny spots of your garden. Why you’ll love it: Saturated true-red color, superior sun and heat performance, and a dense, structural habit that serves as a perfect focal point in containers.

This healthy 4" live flowering plant thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil with regular fertilization.
