Lanai® Twister™ Purple Verbena

Lanai® Twister™ Purple is a trailing verbena with purple flowers, bred for a long display in beds and containers. The named Syngenta product has a cascading habit and works especially well where stems can spill over a basket or planter edge. ## Flowering and placement Syngenta lists this exact color selection as Verbena hybrida, with purple, lavender, or violet flowers, a 6–10 inch garden height, and a 20–24 inch spread. Its product page reports flowering from early spring through summer, a trailing habit, and pollinator-friendly status. The [series care page from Monrovia](https://www.monrovia.com/lanai-174-twister-153-verbena.html) also describes Lanai Twister as a warm-season container and basket plant. ## Growing conditions Grow in full sun or part sun and use a free-draining potting mix or garden soil. Water regularly while the plant is growing, especially in containers and hot weather; avoid leaving roots in saturated soil. Treat it as a seasonal annual in cold-winter regions, though the series can persist as a tender perennial in warmer climates. ## Maintenance Trim back tired stems if the plant becomes open or uneven, then continue regular watering and feeding during active bloom. Remove damaged growth and keep the trailing stems clear of paths.
