Verbena bonariensis Flair

Gold Medal Approved Novelty

Verbena breeding has made significant steps in recent years, culminating in the innovative Verbena bonariensis Flair from Benary - the most compact variety on the market. The bright violet, round-shaped flowers have an eye-catching effect from a distance.

Thanks to its genetical compactness, growers do not need to use PGR or pinching, ensuring an efficient and sustainable cultivation process. As more plants fit on a trolley, shipping becomes easier and more cost-effective.
Retailers appreciate the brighter flower colour and versatile combination possibilities, creating a strong visual impact. Consumers love the striking visual impact even from a distance provided by the round-shaped flowers, as well as the decorative appeal in landscape plantings.
Beneficial insects visit Flair throughout the summer until frost, contributing to garden wildlife and biodiversity in general. Thriving in the full sun, Flair meets the increasing demand for heat-tolerant plants.
