Superbena are our most vigorous, heat tolerant, and mildew tolerant
series. While always great in containers they are also fantastic in
landscape beds. They can tolerate dry soils and lower fertility.
Normally either an application of slow release fertilizer or amending
with compost is enough to keep them happy and blooming in
landscape beds.
Superbena Royale verbenas are vigorous and mounded, but will trail
over the sides of containers. They will function as both spillers and
fillers in combination planters and are best planted at the front of
landscape beds. They will bloom earlier in the season and more easily
produceable in smaller containers than regular Superbena
varieties.Long Blooming.Heat Tolerant
