No color stirs the passion in serious gardeners like blue. Sure, we like orange, yellow, red and pink but blue is the must-have color for mixed containers and baskets. It is like having sapphires in our pocket plantings by the front entrance to the home. It is for this reason The Garden Guy was eager to put Superbena Imperial Blue verbena to the test.
Not only did I parse out my supply of Imperial Blue to various baskets and containers but I gave some to my son James the “Guru of All Things Color” in the commercial landscape. As usual, he beat me like a drum in design but I am used to it.
Superbena Imperial Blue will arrive at your garden center in the spring of 2022. So put on your camo and stealthily be ready when they hit the garden center. I expect as usual there will not be enough to go around for all who want this new verbena. There is a reason it is called Imperial. Nothing short of intense in color, it is the blue that makes your heart race.
