My experience using this Verbena in window box arrangements has not been good. Leaves developed powdery mildew from the humid and rainy weather we've been having this year. They're isolated now in their own containers under shelter where they get late afternoon sun and very little direct rain. They might have done well if sheltered from the beginning since they seem to do fine in part sun. None are planted in the ground under these same weather conditions so I cannot comment about that. If used in containers, though, they need a DRY location. I've read that the trailing type of Verbena does not develop this mildew.

This is my first time planting Verbena (Red Aztec) and it's taking off very nicely, so far. It's bursting with small red flowers and is supposed to very tolerate of high heat / sun such as we have in south central Texas. Low and fast spreading vinelike yet bushy. I like them so much I have purchased 4 more.

Great for hanging basket. Butterflies and hummingbirds love it. Takes the intense sun and heat of Florida.
