EnduraScape White Blush Verbena

Verbena x hybrida 'White Blush'

The Story

Plant Bio

Hybrid verbena are popular flowering plants prized for their long bloom season and tolerance of heat and sun. They typically have a mounding or trailing habit, making them versatile in garden beds and containers.

Part of the EnduraScape™ series, 'White Blush' is bred for superior hardiness and landscape performance. It produces masses of delicate white flowers with a soft pink eye, blooming continuously from spring through fall.

Uses & Benefits:

The 'White Blush' verbena offers a soft, romantic look with its profusion of white flowers centered with a hint of pink. It brightens garden beds and containers, and its trailing habit gracefully softens edges and spills over walls.

Like others in its series, this plant is a tough, low-water-use performer once established. It's an excellent choice for hot, sunny locations where other plants might struggle, providing continuous color with minimal fuss.

The numerous small flowers provide a consistent source of nectar for a wide variety of pollinators, including butterflies like skippers and painted ladies, as well as many species of native bees.
