Latin Name: Verbena × hybrida ‘Gala Beauty Red’ 

The Verbena ‘Gala Beauty Red’ is a vigorous, trailing plant (often grown as an annual) prized for its rich red blooms and heat resilience. Growing 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) tall with spreads up to 24 inches (60 cm), it’s ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and ground cover.

This award-winning Gala series cultivar produces dense clusters of 1.5-inch (4 cm) flowers in deep, velvety red, blooming spring to frost without deadheading. Its semi-trailing habit and glossy, serrated foliage resist powdery mildew and drought stress.

Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Heat-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering in extreme conditions. Attracts butterflies while deterring deer and rabbits.

Perfect for bold displays, pair with white bacopa, blue scaevola, or golden bidens.
