Verbena 'Bampton'

Found in a public garden in the English town of Bampton, this new verbena is a forest of glossy purple stems holding clouds of lavender-pink small flowers at the tips. Plant in masses and enjoy a hazy, see-through look fabulous in large tubs or at the front of the dry border. Freely blooming summer and fall; cooler weather unleashes an eggplant foliage hue.
