In heavy gardeners, such as blue, no color stimulates the senses. Of course we like orange, yellow, red and pink, but blue is a must-have color for mixed containers and baskets. It’s like sapphires in our pockets, like the one near the front door. That’s why I wanted to try the Superbena Imperial Blue verbena.
I not only analyzed my Imperial Blue supply for various baskets and containers, but also gave it to my son James in business. He beat me like a drum in the usual design, but for me I was used to it.
Superbena Imperial Blue will arrive in your garden in the spring of 2022. So be prepared when you hit the garden. I hope this new verbena is not enough for everyone who wants it. There is a reason why it is called Imperial. It is not short of color, it is blue that makes your heart spin.

If you have not tried the certified winners Superbena verbenas, you will need to get on the train. I am in my third year with Superbena Hurricane, and with the best white, superbena whitewatch on the planet. Although there are other butterfly plants in my garden, superbenaes always seem to attract attention, and not only butterflies, but hummingbirds as well.

Superbena Imperial Blue, like the other Superbena, grows to a height of 5 to 12 inches by 30 to 5 inches. They need fertile soil and plenty of sunlight to develop their true performance. Superbenaes are usually considered annual and one of special value.
I live in Zone 8a and we can get them back in Zone and in the hot spring. It is a good soil drain for this warning. My son James and I believe in cutting verbena from time to time to keep growing and coming to Addis Ababa. It also helps reduce the chances of spider bites.

In my baskets and containers, I have shared Superbena Imperial Blue verbena with other new plants such as Boldly Coral geranium and Supertunia Vista Jazzberry petunia. James Imperial, on the other hand, created shiny horse pools in collaboration with Superbena Whitewort, Superturia Bordeaux. Lucifer Banama Lantana and the new Suncredible Saturn will also start flowering in 2022.
It was really amazing in terms of pollen. Eastern Tiger Swallowing, Spice Bush Swallowing and Pivin Swallowing have all found Superbena Imperial Blue a regular dining area. But small butterflies, such as the American lady, make frequent visits. I think the most exciting thing I saw was Ruby-Throat visiting the Hummingbirds. I think it is a natural attraction for hummers from the landscape and the cool flowers.
