Superbena® Sparkling Rose

Superbena® Sparkling Rose is a vibrant, trailing verbena that features bi-colored blooms in shades of bright pink with a soft white center. This heat-tolerant, continuous bloomer produces flowers from spring until frost without the need for deadheading. The plant has a low-growing, spreading habit, making it excellent for ground cover or spilling over containers. It is also resistant to powdery mildew and highly attractive to pollinators.
