Sweetheart Kisses Verbena (Verbena tenuisecta 'Sweetheart Kisses', syn. Glandularia pulchella, G. aristigera) is a romantic, finely textured trailing verbena that captivates with its vibrant clusters of red, rose, and pink blooms accented with a hint of white — a warm, multi-toned color combination that creates an impression of cascading flower confetti throughout the long blooming season. The delicate, finely cut, lacy foliage provides a soft, feathery backdrop that makes the vivid bloom clusters appear to float above the spreading stems in an endlessly charming display. A naturally vigorous spreader, Sweetheart Kisses produces a profusion of nectar-rich flower clusters from spring through fall that are irresistible to butterflies and beneficial pollinators.

These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown to the highest nursery standards, producing well-developed root systems that establish quickly and spread generously through the growing season. Sweetheart Kisses Verbena thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and is notably heat and drought tolerant once established — a natural choice for sunny borders, rock gardens, slopes, and mixed container plantings where its spreading habit and prolific bloom production can be fully appreciated.

  • Vibrant Red, Rose & Pink Multi-Toned Blooms: Clusters of red, rose, and pink flowers with hints of white create a warm, romantic multi-toned color display that blooms prolifically and continuously from spring through fall.
  • Delicate Finely Cut Lacy Foliage: Finely divided, lacy foliage provides exceptional soft texture and a beautiful feathery backdrop that makes the vivid bloom clusters appear to float above the spreading stems.
  • Premier Butterfly & Pollinator Plant: Nectar-rich flower clusters are irresistible to butterflies, skippers, native bees, and hummingbirds throughout the generous and extended bloom season.
  • Heat & Drought Tolerant Spreader: Vigorous spreading habit combined with outstanding heat and drought tolerance makes this an excellent groundcover choice for sunny slopes, borders, and open garden areas with minimal irrigation.
  • Long Season Container & Border Plant: Equally beautiful trailing from containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes or spreading as a low groundcover in sunny borders — a versatile, long-blooming addition to any warm-season garden.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun with well-drained to dry soil. Water regularly until established, then reduce to occasional deep watering. Hardy in USDA Zones 8–11; performs as a vigorous heat-loving annual in cooler climates. Mature height 6–12 inches with a spread of 24–36 inches. Blooms spring through fall. Light trimming midseason encourages fresh new growth and sustained bloom production. Excellent for sunny borders, slopes, rock gardens, containers, and butterfly-focused plantings.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.
