Vanessa™ Red Verbena

Vanessa™ Red is a semi-trailing Verbena hortensis selection in Danziger’s standard VANESSA™ Series. Its early flowering, single medium flowers, and spreading outline suit patio pots, hanging baskets, ground-cover plantings, and landscape beds. ### Flowers and growth Danziger lists the Vanessa™ Series at 8–12 inches tall and 14–18 inches wide, with a semi-trailing habit. The series is selected for mildew tolerance and consistent color cycling, and its published profile reports heat tolerance and color retention into summer. The red selection is listed as suitable for pots, hanging baskets, ground cover, and landscape use. ### Placement and care Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. The RHS recommends full sun and well-drained soil for verbenas. Use a container with drainage for patio or basket planting, and allow room for the semi-trailing stems to spread. See the [Vanessa™ Red product profile](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/vanessa-red/) and the [VANESSA™ Series profile](https://www.danzigeronline.com/series_annuals/vanessa/) for product and series details. ## Maintenance Check container moisture regularly in warm weather, keep drainage openings clear, and trim stems lightly when they extend beyond the intended planting edge.
