I hate ordering a flower that is called blue and it is purple or a Red one and it is orange. I know they define them in color ranges but it it frustrating when buying them online. ;-)<br /><br />Bangchik: Has Waldo arrived by plane yet?

I was in Lowe's yesterday and they had them on clearance. I thought about buying some, but wasn't sure how they would do. I know you can plant them outside here.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-50050376176129437122010-01-16T09:39:03.759-05:002010-01-16T09:39:03.759-05:00I love the richness of the blooms - its a deeper r...I love the richness of the blooms - its a deeper red - which for me is more pleasing to the eye than pillarbox red.

I haven't seen one I don't like tho! Very striking coloring with the white on red pattern and touch of green throat. I'm glad you got what you ordered too.<br />btw, I tried growing verbena bonariensis for the first time last year not realizing it wasn't hardy in my zone ~ I think it's zone 7-9?? I was so bummed to learn that. It will be an annual for me. I didn't get it started in time to see it bloom but the plants I have seen blooming don't appear to be floppy at all. Not sure if that helps??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-1294832605428147422010-01-15T19:09:20.517-05:002010-01-15T19:09:20.517-05:00What a great red!!
