The Verbena family has grown with the introduction of the Superbenas Royale, an upgraded range of colour, hardiness and vigour. Have a garden with the minimum of fuss; Royales are so easy to grow. They produce large eye-catching flower clusters on spreading plants for a long season of flower. They flower throughout the warmer months.
Superbenas Royale look superb in containers or hanging baskets on a patio, deck or in a courtyard or planted into your garden. Superbenas are the ideal plant for adding long lasting colour highlights to the low maintenance ’outdoor room’. Individual colours can be planted alone or mix and match Superbenas with other flowering plants. Plant Superbenas Royale in garden beds for eye-catching highlights or as a great ground cover. look superb in containers or hanging baskets on a patio, deck or in a courtyard or planted into your garden.

Grow Superbenas Royale In full sun. Plant into well prepared well drained garden beds rich in humus and add a small quantity of fertiliser. Use a premium potting mix in containers. Water well until the plant is established and then water as needed. Apply flower boosting liquid fertiliser rather tha fertiliser that is high in nitrogen, which would encourage foliage at the expense of flowers. Superbenas Royale are water wise plants and will thrive with minimal watering. Prune plants every few months to remove spent flowers and encourage new growth which menas more flowers. Cut back to the edge of the pot or basket.
Superbenas Royale come to us from the breeding houses of Japan and have now been trialled in many countries of the world. They are hybrids the progeny of which have been extensively trialled and selected for their resistance to powdery mildews that often beset the Verbenas of years past. They are found in nature across many parts of the Central Americas. Most are called Verbena hybrida as so many of the earliest breeding crosses were carried out with hardly any notes taken as to parentage.
