VERBENAS 
Verbenas top the list of annuals in their color class for complete satisfaction as 
garden subjects or cut flowers. Seed may be started early indoors or sown outside for 
later bloom. They thrive in window boxes, give color to bare spots in a perennial 
border, make showy borders, spreading over quite a wide area. If long stemmed 
branches are cut for arrangements, the plants send out many new shoots.

borders in sunny areas. Our mixture contains 
the best colors available in verbenas from white 
through shades of pinks, rose and salmon to 
scarlet and deep red as well as lavender and
