Botanical Name
Verbena 'Balazpearl'( AZTEC® PEARL, AZTEC® SERIES) PPAF
Plant Common Name
Aztec® Pearl Verbena, Verbena
General Description
Aztec® verbenas are trailing, vigorous, tender perennials that are grown as annual bedding plants in colder regions. They are heavy-blooming, densely-branched and have feathery, medium green foliage that is mildew-resistant.
From late spring to fall Aztec® Pearl bears dense clusters of ivory flowers. These attract butterflies and bees and require regular deadheading.
Like most verbenas, Aztec® Pearl is drought tolerant and resilient to summer heat and humidity but will perform well in cooler temperatures too. It prefers full sun and moderately fertile, amply drained soil. It is great for containers, hanging baskets, edging, and borders due to its floriferousness and nice mounding to trailing habit.
