Anyone tried growing this bicolour verbena in the UK? How did you get on. Is it hardy enough for overwintering in the West Country?

We grew it up in Kaya and it was hardy enough to survive the frosts up there.  Leave it over Winter and then cut it back strongly in the Spring and it'll soon start  to shoot.

It was still growing well when I was there in May.

We have grown this in a pot on the patio. It's fine during most of the year but does not over winter, but we live in the north east. It's likely it may over winter in sheltered areas in the south and south west of the UK. It's worth a try.
It also grew well in Cyprus.
