I think it is about as hardy as Caryopteris, which I sometimes manage to keep for two or three years. (I love it so much!) I hope your Verbena manages to keep going! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-3687094409888971732017-11-01T09:23:41.058+00:002017-11-01T09:23:41.058+00:00Its strange how some gardeners shun shade...in thi...Its strange how some gardeners shun shade...in this garden we have very little and I mourn the lovely cool borders in my last garden. Luckily the sun is not always fierce in this area, and the bed does have some morning shade. I shall have to arrange shady areas on the lee of shrubs for smaller shade loving beauties.Stasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616094223215469144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-63209048313661404762017-10-30T20:00:31.815+00:002017-10-30T20:00:31.815+00:00That Verbena is certainly worth its space in your ...That Verbena is certainly worth its space in your garden, Noelle, but I'm head-over-heels about that beautiful fuchsia. With too little shade, too much heat, and not much water, I'd given up the fuchsias which were a mainstay in my former shady garden but my husband has committed to build me a lath (shade) house so I'm hoping I can re-introduce them on a small scale here next year.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-1004458239226800762017-10-30T19:40:56.641+00:002017-10-30T19:40:56.641+00:00It's good tho know you've still got things...It's good tho know you've still got things going on and you've put together a pretty little vase.

It's quite hardy and went through last year in a pot outside, so in the ground and a little larger it will be safe. It's definitely a keeper and next year l will propagate to share.Stasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616094223215469144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-66865029517765789972017-10-30T15:13:05.055+00:002017-10-30T15:13:05.055+00:00Lovely!

Must check how hardy and long-lived it actually is. Good to see your Red Dragon blooms today, and what an intriguing shade of fuschsia - it seems to have a greenish tinge to it. Will you need to lify it, or is it menat to be hardy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
