Plant Features

Add the interest of an optical illusion to your garden with the Verbena Lanai® Twister Red' Improved! The blooms rise above the foliage in small bunches, but what appears from a distance to be a large pink flower with a rich red center is actually a tight cluster of many blooms! The outer flowers are a subtle pink, fading into a red, just at the center.
