Royale Chambray Superbena


Royale Chambray Superbena

Verbena hybrid

(ver-BEE-nuh)

Synonyms: 'AKIV5711'


When this plant was purchased we had no idea it was a new variety for 2011. The name is appropriate since this plant does grow and flower with a royal habit. First the color is great. Probably not dark enough for true purple lovers but it is a very pleasant shade of purple. The habit is like Verbenas in the fact it is a bit of a sprawling mound. ‘Royale Chambray’ seems to have a little better depth than most varieties.

Since it is Sunday come join us at http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/.


Bonus picture for Sunday! This Dahlia has me wondering if the plant I grew last year under this name was an impostor. The colors were not nearly as vibrant and warm. This one has been a star in the cutting garden.
