Verbena 'Bampton'

Named after the historic market town in Devon, Verbena Bampton is an equally charming perennial plant with a light, airy feel. Its wiry purple-green stems bear deep purple foliage and from June to September, these are complemented by spikes of tiny 5-petalled flowers in a lovely shade of lavender pink.

Verbena Bampton grows well in flower beds and borders but is also well suited to containers and pots. Its flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, enticing pollinators and turning the garden into a buzzing hive of activity.

Plant Verbena Bampton in full sun in moist but well-draining soil. Water regularly until established, after which it is drought tolerant. This hardy plant is easy to look after and can withstand cold winter temperatures as it hibernates underground during the winter months. In late autumn, after flowering, cut the spent foliage back to ground level to make way for fresh new growth emerging the following spring.
