Verbena 'Magelana Deep Red' (trailing)

Common name: Trailing Verbena 'Deep Red'

Description: Verbena 'Magelana Deep Red' is a richly coloured trailing verbena producing dense clusters of deep, velvety red flowers from late spring right through to the first autumn frosts. The intense, saturated red colour is bold and dramatic in container displays, creating strong visual impact whether used alone or as a vivid contrast with white, silver, or blue companions. The Magelana series is consistently one of the best-performing trailing verbena ranges for UK conditions, combining strong disease resistance, good weather tolerance, and vigorous growth with a long and reliable flowering season.

Other benefits: intense deep red colour for bold displays; very long flowering season; good disease and weather resistance; vigorous trailing habit

Wildlife attraction: bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects
