Hurricane Blue Verbena

Hurricane Blue Verbena (Verbena hybrid 'Hurricane Blue') is a vigorous, free-flowering perennial that delivers a charming, eye-catching display of purple and white bicolor blooms in prolific abundance from spring through fall frost. The distinctive bicolor flower clusters — rich purple petals delicately edged and accented with white — create a fresh, clean two-toned effect that brings a bright, uplifting presence to containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, and sunny garden borders throughout the entire warm season.

Grown from professional-grade nursery stock, Hurricane Blue Verbena arrives with a healthy, well-established root system ready to establish quickly and spread reliably across sunny garden spaces. Its naturally spreading, trailing habit and exceptional heat and drought tolerance make it one of the most reliable and versatile flowering groundcovers and container spillers available for warm-season landscapes and patio designs.

• Charming Purple & White Bicolor Blooms: Rich purple flower clusters delicately edged and accented with white create a fresh, clean bicolor display that is cheerful and eye-catching in containers, hanging baskets, and sunny garden borders — bringing bright, two-toned color energy to any planting combination throughout the warm season.
• Vigorous Spreading & Trailing Habit: A naturally spreading, trailing growth habit fills containers generously and cascades attractively over edges — equally effective as a fast-spreading groundcover in sunny garden beds and as a colorful spiller in mixed patio container arrangements and hanging baskets.
• Exceptional Heat & Drought Tolerance: Once established, Hurricane Blue Verbena is highly tolerant of summer heat and dry conditions, maintaining vigorous growth and prolific bloom production through the hottest and driest periods of the growing season with minimal supplemental irrigation.
• Butterfly & Pollinator Magnet: The abundant bicolor flower clusters are highly attractive to butterflies, skippers, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the long season, making Hurricane Blue a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly and pollinator-supportive garden designs.
• Professional Grade Root System: This plant arrives with a healthy, well-developed root system that establishes quickly and delivers exceptional season-long performance with minimal supplemental care in sunny, well-drained locations.

This 4" healthy live plant thrives in full sun with low to moderate water once established — good drainage is essential, as verbena is susceptible to powdery mildew and root rot in consistently wet or poorly ventilated conditions. As a tender perennial grown as a warm-season annual in most climates, Hurricane Blue performs best when planted after the last frost date and blooms continuously until frost. It may overwinter as a perennial in mild climates (USDA Zones 9–11). Mature height reaches 8–12 inches with a spreading width of 18–24 inches. No deadheading required for continuous bloom production.
