Sweetheart Kisses Verbena

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.
