More About Verbena ‘Lascar™ Mango Orange’

Verbena ‘Lascar™ Mango Orange’ brings bold, sun-soaked color to the garden with vibrant mango-orange flower clusters that glow in full sun. The warm hue adds energy and contrast to mixed plantings and pairs especially well with yellows, reds, purples, and dark foliage.

As part of the Lascar™ series, this variety was bred for strong branching, improved uniformity, and dependable performance. Plants fill in quickly, maintain a balanced spreading habit, and bloom continuously from late spring through frost.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In trials, ‘Lascar™ Mango Orange’ impressed with its color retention and steady bloom production during periods of heat and humidity. The orange tones stayed saturated without bleaching, even under intense summer sun.

We especially like it for high-impact beds and containers where warm color is the goal. It delivers bold visual presence without demanding extra care.

Lascar™ Mango Orange vs. Other Verbena

Mango Orange fills the warm, tropical color role in the Lascar™ Series, offering saturated orange blooms with a lively, sun-soaked feel. It is known for holding bright color exceptionally well in full sun, avoiding the washout common in orange verbenas. Compared to Lascar™ Orange Lava, Mango Orange is slightly softer and more playful, while still delivering strong visual impact. Against Lascar™ Black Velvet, it provides contrast and warmth rather than depth. Mango Orange represents the more approachable side of bold color in the Lascar™ lineup.

EnduraScape™ Pink Fizz offers bicolor interest and greater cold tolerance, but Mango Orange delivers purer warmth. Lanai® Peach occupies a similar color family, though it is far lighter and more restrained. Gardeners who want bright, warm orange without extreme aggression will appreciate Mango Orange’s balance.
