Set of 3 or 6 Trailing Verbena Blue Eye Plants – Summer Flowering, Hanging Basket Ready
Bring vibrant colour to your garden with this set of three Trailing Verbena Blue Eye plants. Part of the Lanai Compact series from Syngenta, this stunning variety produces clusters of rich blue-violet flowers, each with a distinctive white eye at the centre. With a naturally trailing growth habit, these plants are perfectly suited for hanging baskets, window boxes, patio containers, and as ground cover along borders.
Each plant is supplied as a well-established 10.5cm root-ball, ready to plant out once the risk of frost has passed. The vigorous, branching stems cascade beautifully, creating a full, floriferous display throughout the summer months and into autumn. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous blooming across the season.
