{Verbena in White for Fiberglass Window Boxes}

We've changed plants inside our bay window Fiberglass Window Boxes. 
Here they are: White Verbenas
We used to have pink verbenas but we lost them while being for 2 weeks in Europe, for attending a wedding... It was hay when we got back home.
Pink no longer works well with our Benjamin Moore Golden Mist color for the exterior...
Photos are from May 19...
Looking promising! Even though the above is not a pure white in my opinion but a silver...
This is perfect and very healthy.
They got all sold as being Aztec White Verbena

      We also used to have pink but the color goes less perfect with our exterior paint now. Our pink ones we did keep for about a decade, they came back every spring!
      Enjoy your week as well and sending you hugs,

  10. I would like to find some white verbena. It would be excellent in some of my urns and perfect for the summer heat.

      They seem to be very hard to come by. Home Depot did not stock up on their white Lanai, only on line but out of stock the entire season... We found these through a local garden shop.

  11. Bonjour Mariette
    J’aime beaucoup la verveine avec ses formes en corbeille. J'espère qu'elle t'offrira ses fleurs pendant longtemps.

    Bonne soirée, grosses bises

  16. Oh they are so lovely! White flowers match the golden mist color very beautifully. The silver ones look a little bit pink as well. I wonder if they'll become more white as time passes. I began to grow new catnip/catmint on the deck. They just started to sprout :-)

    1. Dearest Tamago,
      White is indeed the best match with the golden mist color. That silver one is just an error I guess, someone mixed up the colors and they indeed are a tad pinkish.
      Catnip will grow well if the humidity is kind of high.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  17. Lieve Mariette,,,
    Je bloembakken zien er weer mooi uit ......ik hoop dat jullie van deze langer mogen genieten...
    Ja het klimaat heeft veel te maken met je planten ..
    Sommige bloemen doen het hier ook niet ..zomers is het hier ook veel te warm en te
    droog ....en als het dan regent krijg je van die harden buien ...
    Maar we geven het niet op hoor !!!!!

    veel liefs Nieneke

    1. Lieve Nieneke,
      Op de foto hier zien ze er best mooi uit maar het valt niet mee gedurende de zomer om alles in leven te houden. Het is geen Nederland waar het nat en koel is voor het merendeel van het jaar en dat is voor planten het allerbeste.
      Bij ons heb je ook van die harde tropische buien en die regen is ook zo weer weg omdat we geen vlak land hebben maar heuvelachtig. Inderdaad, we proberen het telkens weer opnieuw en als het lukt is de beloning dubbel.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

      Thank you and yes, they are very sweet looking.
      Our week will start looking better from today on. Pieter had his colonoscopy this morning and yesterday we got home at 7:00 AM after a delay of 10 hours at the Atlanta airport. Our flight for Savannah got delayed and finally canceled due to severe weather where it had to depart from, in Alabama. Another plane was flown in from New Jersey to finally take us home by 3:45 AM...
      Still not caught up on sleep since we had to leave at 8:00 AM this morning. But all is well!
      Hugs and love to you from Georgia.
