For such a cheery, delicate looking flower, 'Lanai Twister Pink' verbena is amazingly tough, withstanding summer's heat and sometimes less-than adequate water, especially when planted in the ground in well-draining soil. Mounding then trailing in habit, this variety works well in hanging baskets, window boxes, and container planters, adding a punch of color. The white in these blooms act as a natural magnifier for the bright pink petals, attracting pollinators galore, though deer seem indifferent (usually). Growers say verbena are self-cleaning, but a bit of deadheading in late summer, and even a light trim, will keep 'Lanai Twister Pink' verbena looking its best right up until freeze.
