Description
Verbena Estrella Voodoo Red Star is a radiant variety that is covered in bicoloured red and white-cream flowers gathered in round bouquets. It blooms for over four months. The spectacular flowers are carried at the end of stems that remain short. This variety forms a small, semi-trailing tuft that is particularly compact, making it ideal for pots and hanging baskets. It is grown as an annual. It is a generous, floriferous, and undemanding plant that tolerates watering neglect. It requires full sun.
Verbena Estrella Voodoo Red Star belongs to the Verbenaceae family. It is a horticultural hybrid whose ancestors inhabited the warm regions of South America. The Estrella series, developed in Germany, is distinguished by vibrant and pure-coloured flowers. Their stems do not elongate indefinitely or appear leafless and graceless. This plant forms a compact and slightly trailing clump that is rather stocky, measuring 25 to 35cm (10 to 14in) tall, and spreading about 35 to 45cm (14 to 18in). From May-June until September-October, it produces flexible and upright stems that carry dense and round bouquets, 3 to 5cm (1 to 2in) wide, composed of fairly large flowers (1.5 cm (1in)) whose vermillion red colour presents a beautiful radiating star with 5 branches of pale-yellow to white-cream. The shape of the widely open flowers resembles that of phlox. The triangular dark leaves are toothed at the edges, 3 to 4cm (1 to 2in) long. This perennial plant succumbs to frost and is grown as an annual in our climates.
Garden verbenas are easy to grow, suffering more from excess water and food than from temporary neglect. They overflow from hanging baskets, and slip between other upright plants in flower pots or planters, hiding their base without being affected by their presence. They are also beautiful in rockeries, quickly filling the spaces left by damage caused by a harsh winter. Create a beautiful hanging basket by planting this verbena with a white pelargonium, a purple-leaved ipomoea, and intense blue lobelias.
Our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transplant and store them in shelters (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
Plant in a sunny location. They need light and humus-rich soil and appreciate a moderate supply of fertiliser and water. They tolerate rather dry soil quite well. You can plant your verbenas in pots, hanging baskets, or flower boxes. In pots, they should be regularly watered, without excess, letting the surface dry between two waterings.
They are fragile perennials that are usually grown as annuals. You can bring them indoors at the first sign of frost to extend their flowering period during autumn and winter. Outdoor cultivation is possible by the seaside, by mulching well in winter and protecting the stump from moisture with plastic.
Plan for light pruning in March.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
