Plant Information

Superbena® Stormburst

Superbena verbenas are very vigorous with strongly trailing habits. This trailing verbena plant produces very large flowers and umbels. They are great in landscapes and containers and perform well as a heat tolerant verbena plant in warm climates. In landscapes, they are best used at the front of beds and they function as spillers in combination planters or as a verbena for containers and hanging baskets. If you are looking for a colorful annual ground cover, Superbena is a great choice.

The most eye-catching part of this striped verbena plant is the fun striped pattern. These bicolor verbena flowers create a unique visual effect that stands out in garden beds and containers. We always select stable patterns that give gardeners the most consistent experience possible. However, when it comes to striped patterns like this, there is likely to be some variation over time.

Superbena Stormburst will at times naturally change to a solid color. This can be a single flower in a cluster, a whole umbel of flowers or even an entire branch.  For Superbena Stormburst, the color change from this striped verbena plant is most likely to be to either solid violet or solid white. These occasional changes do not affect the performance of this striped verbena plant and are a natural trait sometimes seen with bicolor verbena flowers.

If you prefer that your plant not have this color variation, trimming off the portion of the plant that has flowers with the odd coloration, can minimize how much of your plant ends up with the color change. If you don't mind the new look, there is no need to do anything.  It isn't detrimental to this heat tolerant verbena plant in any way. This isn't a common occurrence, but it is something that happens in a small percentage of Superbena Stormburst plants each year.
