The "upright" part of this verbena's name is a bit misleading, as 'Upright Rose with Eye' verbena gets wider than it is tall, so it will spill nicely over the edge of hanging baskets and container planters while its lush compact foliage will fill a space as well. Verbena love the sun and are a dependable summer bloomer. Deadheading spent flowers will keep this annual looking its best, and encourages even more blooms. A light shearing in late summer will keep verbena flowering right up to fall.
