Verbena plant `L. Archer`

Abstract

A new variety of Verbena×hybrida is provided. The plant has rapid growth, particularly under nursery conditions, the habit is densely spreading, resulting from the many branches, multiple breaks from the new shoots and short internodes, and the flower is a deep red-rose color.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of Verbena×hybrida substantially as described and illustrated herein, characterized particularly as to novelty by its deep red-rose flower color, cold hardiness, rapid, particularly under nursery conditions, and free and basal branching providing a cultivar well suited as a flowering pot plant having no unusual susceptability to the traditional Verbena×hybrida diseases and insects.
