Superbena Violet Ice Verbena is a compact herbaceous perennial with a stiff, mounding habit and hairy stems sporting sharply toothed lance-like leaves. The wiry branched stems are lightly leafed and are topped by large clusters of rich violet flowers with white eyes from spring until frost attracting butterflies. Grows best with full sun and well-drained soils. Superbena have mildew resistance and heat and drought tolerance. Violet Ice flowers may rarely variant to striped or solid white- it is non-detrimental, but if you don't like the new look just trim off the affected part.
