Love the color but not as vigorous and colorful as the Royale series. They are perennials for us in the Atlanta area. Hoping they will perform better this year.

Maintenance Notes:Superbena® verbena plants are easy to grow and will flower non-stop from planting to frost if simple maintenance tasks are performed. Growing Superbena in full sun to part sun is important for their strong growth and bloom performance. They do not require deadheading, meaning the removal of spent flowers, to stay in bloom all season.
These heat tolerant annuals typically require a bit less water and feeding than many kinds of flowering annuals. If your garden soil is very heavy and tends to stay soggy for a while after it rains, plant your Superbena verbena in a container instead of in the ground. Let the soil dry out a little bit between waterings, but do not let the plants wilt severely before watering again.
Superbena performs best when fed with Proven Winners plant foods. At planting time, in containers and landscapes, mix Proven Winners Premium Continuous Release Plant Food into the soil, following the rates specified on the packaging. In containers, reapply halfway through the growing season. In the ground, a single application in spring is typically sufficient.
Additionally, Superbena verbena should be fed with Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food every ten days to two weeks according to the rates specified on the packaging.
Superbena does not require much trimming to keep it looking great all season. If you’d like your plants to have a fuller, bushier shape, trim up to 20% off the ends of the stems midseason. Follow up by feeding them with water soluble plant food to promote fresh new growth and blooms.

Love the coloring on this plant, but for me it has not had the same vigor as other superbenas I have grown. I have it planted in 2 different containers with supertunia fuschia and you can barely see it. I know that they like it hot so it is possible that it got a late start due to the cooler than normal spring. I just gave the supertunia a haircut to give them some room and will see what happens.

I absolutely adored this plant. I also got the Sparkling Amethyst. The plants grew MORE than 30" in diameter. They truly are resistant to powdery mildew. My other verbenas (not superbenas) were riddled with it. These were growing right next to them and didn't contract it from them at all, not even one leaf! Amazing!! I can't wait to get them again next year. They were such a delight! They didn't mind being top watered from the inground sprinklers. They are also great as a spiller.

This verbena is BEAUTIFUL! I love the small bloom-within-a-bloom. The plant keeps growing and growing, and cuttings last a long time in a bouquet. Wish I'd bought a dozen of these!
