Overview

A sensational new broad-leaf type verbena producing hairy, dark grey-green foliage smothered in velvety dark purple flowers. Often grown as a superior annual, 'Showboat Burgundy' is a stunning addition to pots and baskets, or even at the front of a border. This mounded, spreading tender perennial stays lush and healthy in all weather and has excellent mildew resistance. It looks sensational when teamed with Petunia multiflora 'Shock Wave Deep Purple'.

    Pots and Packaging
    Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

    Preparation
    The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

    Plant on Arrival
    Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
