The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its tiny tomentose narrow leaves remain green in color throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"NetPS-PlantDescHeader\" id=\"NetPS-PlantLAHeader\"\u003eLandscape Attributes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara1\"\u003eEmpress™ Flair Red Verbena is an herbaceous annual with a trailing habit of growth, eventually spilling over the edges of hanging baskets and containers. It brings an extremely fine and delicate texture to the garden composition and should be used to full effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara2\"\u003eThis plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep. Trim off the flower heads after they fade and die to encourage more blooms late into the season. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara3\"\u003eEmpress™ Flair Red Verbena is recommended for the following landscape applications;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"NetPS-LAPara3-ap\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMass Planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorder Edging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Garden Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContainer Planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging Baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"NetPS-PlantDescHeader\" id=\"NetPS-PlantPGHeader\"\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara1\"\u003eEmpress™ Flair Red Verbena will grow to be about 12 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 18 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. Although it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by cuttings; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara3\"\u003eEmpress™ Flair Red Verbena is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor containers and hanging baskets. Because of its trailing habit of growth, it is ideally suited for use as a 'spiller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the edges where it can spill gracefully over the pot. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alsip's Kingsbury Acres Grower Outlet","offers":[{"title":"4.33\" AKA","offer_id":44897678524616,"sku":"85487","price":4.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/5481\/8760\/files\/F940-05.jpg?v=1768941807","url":"https:\/\/akagroweroutlet.com\/products\/verbena-empress-flair-red","provider":"Alsip's Kingsbury Acres Grower Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
