The new Verbena Drums® series presents very compact, very early flowering plants that are perfect for containers. Verbena ‘Drums Purple Red’ is a striking two-toned variety, with the outer petals of each large, drumstick-shaped flowerhead being pinkish-purple, and the inner petals being bright red. The masses of bright flowers are popular with bees. This heat-resistant, mildew-resistant annual verbena looks terrific in window boxes, pots and baskets in combination with other bedding plants or as a standalone piece.
