Enjoy attractive flowers all summer long with the Lollipop Verbena. The dainty 5-petaled flowers bloom in globe-like clusters on top of tall stems. Enjoy the charming flowers of the Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' from early summer through the first frost. Long, narrow foliage grows near the base, giving the plant a full and dense appearance.
This perennial has a compact, dwarf growth habit, making it well suited to the front of a mixed bed or border. The Lollipop Verbena is an excellent container plant, and the blooms also make wonderful cut flowers. This plant supports pollinators but is not favored by foragers like deer and rabbits. The summer heat and drought do not interfere with the consistent blooms. The Lollipop Verbena grows as a perennial in zones 7 through 9.
Lollipop Verbena Care
The Lollipop Verbena requires full to partial sun and moist, well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil. It is drought tolerant at maturity but appreciates water during a dry spell to support growth. Fertilize the Lollipop Verbena using a balanced plant food in the spring and again halfway through the summer. Container-grown plants benefit from being fertilized every two weeks.
Remove dead or damaged growth to keep the plants tidy and promote a bushier form. Trim back all growth after the first frost or when new growth appears in early spring.
Lollipop Verbena Spacing
The Lollipop Verbena is compact and grows 1 to 2 feet tall and wide. Space plants 1 to 2 feet apart when creating a dense planting or feature three plants in a container.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
