Impressive Empress

Annual? Mine is still going a year later! Tough as nails and thrives on neglect. Beautiful deep violet color.

Pretty plant!

This arrived packaged perfectly! It had buds on it that bloomed 2 days later. The color is brilliant. I know this plant will thrive through the summer. I'm pleased

Beautiful

I love the new addition to my little plant family. My trailing verbena arrived right on time and ready to be potted. Within a day she was already perky and spreading out beautifully. Thanks to growjoy for a great customer experience
