Vigorous little Verbena

This compact little Verbena plant is a vigorous bloomer, with dainty violet/pink blooms on lush, green foliage. The plant arrived healthy, with a few blooms already, and has been putting on quite the show since being potted up. Regular deadheading helps to encourage new bushy growth and more blooms.
