Verbena Port Gibson Pink

Mississippi Medallion Award Winner 2004

One of the most beautiful cities in the South is Port Gibson, Miss. Labeled "too beautiful to burn" by Civil War Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, this town indeed has persevered and entices travelers to wander the streets in awe. Just like the city it is named after, this verbena will be around in your garden for years to come.

Port Gibson Pink verbenas are reminiscent of apple blossoms in color and offer a delightful morning fragrance. A vigorous, upright yet spreading verbena that blooms for months. Needs full sun in moist, well-drained soil that does not stay consistently wet. In fact the better drainage they have in the winter, the longer they will live.

You will find that swallowtail, monarch and fritillary butterflies will feast on the perennial verbena regularly. Combine them with plants like salvia, buddleia and lantanas.
