Verbena 'Magelana Hot Rose' (trailing)

Common name: Trailing Verbena 'Hot Rose'

Description: Verbena 'Magelana Hot Rose' is a vibrantly coloured trailing verbena producing dense clusters of vivid hot rose-pink flowers over an exceptionally long season from late spring to the first frosts. The bold, saturated colour is highly visible and eye-catching in container displays, and the vigorous trailing habit quickly covers the sides of hanging baskets and window boxes with a generous curtain of colour. The Magelana series is noted for its strong weather tolerance and disease resistance, maintaining a consistently attractive display through the unpredictable conditions of the British summer.
