More About Verbena ‘EnduraScape™ Red’

Verbena ‘EnduraScape™ Red’ delivers saturated, true-red flower clusters held above a dense, well-branched mound of foliage. The color reads clearly from a distance, making it an excellent choice for high-impact plantings, patriotic displays, and bold container combinations.

As part of the EnduraScape™ series, this variety was bred for uniform growth, consistent flowering, and dependable performance in heat and humidity. It resists stretching and thinning as the season progresses, maintaining strong coverage and reliable color from late spring through frost.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In trials, ‘EnduraScape™ Red’ stood out for its ability to hold both color intensity and plant structure through extreme summer conditions. Even during periods of heat and humidity, it continued flowering without significant slowdown or loss of form.

We especially like its clean, predictable habit. It fills space evenly, pairs easily with other annuals, and requires minimal maintenance to stay looking sharp throughout the season.

EnduraScape™ Red vs. Other Verbena Varieties

EnduraScape™ Red fills the pure, high-impact red role within the EnduraScape™ series, delivering true-red blooms without the dark undertones found in EnduraScape™ Burgundy. It is known for clarity of color, strong branching, and dependable spreading performance as a landscape verbena. It spreads with the same vigor and cold tolerance as the rest of the series, but reads louder in the landscape than Purple Fizz or White. Against Pink Fizz, Red is more uniform and grounded, lacking bicolor texture but offering greater visual mass. EnduraScape™ Red stands as the boldest, cleanest red option in the series, ideal for strong focal plantings.

Compared to Homestead Purple Verbena, EnduraScape™ Red is more refined and predictable, maintaining a tighter, more consistent spreading habit while delivering brighter, more saturated color throughout the season. Against Verbena bonariensis ‘Vanity’, the contrast is architectural rather than competitive—Vanity adds height and airy movement, while EnduraScape™ Red stays grounded, filling space and anchoring plantings with color. EnduraScape™ Red represents the modern evolution of landscape verbena, offering bold, true-red color with the uniform growth and trial-backed performance that older selections lack.
