One from our 'Toe Tickler' collection, this hardy verbena species is a very low grower (2-3" tall), perfect for a sunny rock wall. Verbena peruviana, also known as 'Red Devil' Verbena, has tiny leaves and is smothered with brilliant, incredibly true red flowers from spring through summer. Butterflies and hummingbirds love it! This is one of the most cold hardy of the Verbenas!
Peruvian Red Verbena is a drought tolerant plant however, during hot weather, regular irrigation will encourage more blooms. Though it is a spreader, it is not a rampant grower and can be interplanted around other taller perennials, where it will slowly spread with its tiny, thick 1" long leaves and its stiff woody stems. Let up on the water in the fall to harden it for winter. Constantly wet or soggy soil is a killer.
Peruviana Red Verbena is an excellent choice for a border or small area groundcover in sunny garden spots. It will cascade over walls or over the edges of pots in container gardens.
