Plant information

Plant Description

Verbena bonariensis ‘Royal Dreams’ is a compact cultivar known for its dense clusters of petite, purple flowers that bloom consistently from early summer to late autumn. While generally resilient in UK winters, it may benefit from protection during severe conditions. Ideal for both pots and borders, this cultivar attracts bees and butterflies with its nectar-rich flowers. To promote continuous blooming, consider deadheading once the initial flowering phase concludes.
