I loved this plant so much. The pattern reminded me of both a lollipop and a kaleidoscope. I wish I could find it again. Paired beautifully with supertunia vista bubblegum in my container planting in full sun.

Features
Superbena Verbena have great vigor, awesome branching and wonderful summer performance. The cheerful cherry and soft peach striped verbena flowers are clustered in large umbels that cover the deep green foliage.
Combine Cherryburst with all of your favorite medium vigor varieties in hanging baskets, upright containers and window boxes as a container spiller plant or use it as a low growing, flowering groundcover in the landscape as a flowering groundcover plant. Like all Superbena, you’ll find that this plant has exceptional resistance to powdery mildew..
The most eye-catching trait of this cultivar is its cherry red and peach striped verbena flowers. We always select stable patterns that give gardeners the most consistent experience possible. However, when it comes to striped patterns like this, there is likely to be some variation over time. This flower pattern will, at times, naturally change to a solid flower color. This can be a single flower in a cluster, a whole umbel of flowers or even an entire branch. The flower pattern mutation does not harm the plant, and impacted flowers can easily be pinched off if desired as a summer blooming annual.

They also make a wonderful container spiller plant for combination recipes as a summer blooming annual.
Maintenance Notes:Superbena® verbena plants are easy to grow and will flower non-stop from planting to frost if simple maintenance tasks are performed. Growing Superbena in full sun to part sun is important for their strong growth and bloom performance. They do not require deadheading, meaning the removal of spent flowers, to stay in bloom all season.
These heat tolerant annuals typically require a bit less water and feeding than many kinds of flowering annuals. If your garden soil is very heavy and tends to stay soggy for a while after it rains, plant your Superbena verbena in a container instead of in the ground. Let the soil dry out a little bit between waterings, but do not let the plants wilt severely before watering again.
Superbena performs best when fed with Proven Winners plant foods. At planting time, in containers and landscapes, mix Proven Winners Premium Continuous Release Plant Food into the soil, following the rates specified on the packaging. In containers, reapply halfway through the growing season. In the ground, a single application in spring is typically sufficient.
Additionally, Superbena verbena should be fed with Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food every ten days to two weeks according to the rates specified on the packaging.
Superbena does not require much trimming to keep it looking great all season. If you’d like your plants to have a fuller, bushier shape, trim up to 20% off the ends of the stems midseason. Follow up by feeding them with water soluble plant food to promote fresh new growth and blooms.
