If you’re looking for a new plant to spice up the garden – perhaps something a little funky, a little colourful, and maybe something that has a bit of Latin flair – you should get to know Verbena ‘Fuerte’ from Beekenkamp!

With a name inspired by the Spanish-speaking countries of South America, this plant brings the essence of its vibrant Latin roots straight to your garden. Aptly named, Fuerte means ‘strong’ in Spanish, and this verbena variety lives up to its name in every sense.

She’s a survivor 💅

Verbena ‘Fuerte’ is known as the ultimate survivor in the garden, thriving through both the scorching heat and heavy rains that a British summer can unpredictably offer. Where other plants may wither in the intense summer sun or droop under relentless rain, Verbena ‘Fuerte’ stands resilient. You can even kick a football at it, and it won’t falter – a great work for family-orientated gardens!

What’s more, its vibrant colours – brilliant reds, pretty pinks, and deep purples – never fade early, regardless of the weather conditions.

Substance AND style

But there’s more to Verbena ‘Fuerte’ than just its resilience. The flowers, shaped like hearts, are amongst the most charming blooms to add to your garden – wouldn’t they make a great anniversary or birthday present for your other half? In addition, the exceptional branching of Verbena ‘Fuerte’ ensures that every plant is robust and full of vitality, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of yo no se qué (je ne sais quoi!) to their outdoor spaces.

Spoilt for choice

Verbena ‘Fuerte’ is available in two distinctive series. The Upright series stands tall and proud, making it perfect for planting in pots or flower beds where you want to make a bold statement. On the other hand, the Semi-Trailing series cascades gracefully from hanging baskets, adding dimensions to patios, balconies and more. With three colour options in the former and seven in the latter, there are so many combos that you could create with this series – and isn’t variety the spice of life?
