'Homestead Hot Pink' is a vigorous, hybrid verbena selection that features vibrant pink blooms and a spreading growth habit. This cultivar was selected from seed grown plants resulting from a cross between a pink-flowering Verbena canadensis and a hybrid verbena of unknown parentage with dark red flowers. Mature plants will reach 4-6" tall and spread to fill a 1.5-2' area. Starting in spring and extending through summer, rounded, 1.75" wide clusters of bright pink flowers bloom at the ends of the stems. US plant patent PP34360 applies to this cultivar.
