Harris Seeds Verbena Obsession Cascade Seed
Best trailing flower for budget-conscious container gardeners.
This is the first trailing verbena that lets you bypass expensive nursery starts by growing your own cascading displays from seed. While you will need to manage the germination process yourself, the trade-off is a vigorous, professional-grade filler for your hanging baskets that is far more economical than buying vegetative plugs.
