which acquired it from Ruth Knopf of Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina

Despite its appearance

plantaginea-like flowers top the clump in August

Verbena Blue Princess Amorphophallus which acquired it from RuthVerbena 'Blue Princess' is a verbena hybrid from England that came to us via plant explorer Greg Grant, of Texas. A hummingbird treat, the large, blue purple flower heads (RHS 87A) exude a terrific fragrance sort of like those expensive QVC perfumes. Verbena 'Blue Princess' is one of the most exciting verbenas in color, fragrance, and foliage I've ever seen FABULOUS!
