Verbena 'Tapien Lilac': Soft Lilac Spreading Carpet

Verbena 'Tapien Lilac' forms a soft lilac carpet of continuous blooms—same indestructible Tapien spreading habit. Excellent groundcover for sun-baked areas where you want a gentle color.

Growing Essentials

Light: Full sun

The lilac tone cools hot landscapes. Spreads vigorously but not invasively. Use on slopes, in parking strips, and spilling over retaining walls. Low maintenance, high reward.
