Verbena Firehouse Grape 6"

The Verbena Firehouse is a vibrant flowering plant known for its bold blooms that attract pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. An interesting characteristic of the Firehouse series is its heat and mildew resistance, ensuring a long-lasting, colorful display even in warm, humid conditions.

In southern Louisiana, Firehouse verbena grows to a height of 6 to 10 inches with a spread of 12 to 18 inches, creating a dense, mounded shape ideal for garden beds, borders, or containers. It thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal blooming. While heat-tolerant, it is not frost-tolerant, so treat it as an annual in USDA zones 9-11. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained, as verbena prefers slightly dry conditions over soggy soil.
