[USPP24987](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP24987) [Green Fuse Vivid® information](https://green-fuse.com/new/verbena-hybrida-verbena-vivid/). ### Garden use The [Green Fuse 2021–22 Vivid catalog](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/GreenFuse-Catalog-2021-22_xs.pdf) publishes a 5–8 inch garden-height range for the Vivid series and lists this selection on the same page. This is the breeder’s series range; individual growth can vary. Garden verbenas are annual hybrids used in borders, containers, rock gardens, ground covers, hanging baskets, and window boxes, according to the [NC State Plant Toolbox](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/verbena-x-hybrida/). The [RHS Verbena guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/verbena) describes bedding verbenas as summer plants for borders and containers, with a long flowering season. These are group-level recommendations, while growth form can vary among cultivars. ### Growing conditions NC State recommends full sun for best flowering and amended, well-drained garden soil or a suitable potting mix. The profile notes that garden hybrids may be mounding, trailing, or upright, so use the particular plant’s observed form when planning spacing. ## Maintenance Water consistently while newly planted and during dry spells, allowing excess water to drain freely. Check container soil more often in warm weather. Remove spent flower clusters to encourage continued flowering, and trim stems as needed to keep the plant within its available space.
