From a batch of seedlings in 2018, this hybrid has shown excellent performance in our test gardens. Its blooms are sort of a watermelon pink-red, so we gave it the name Nectarwand Coral Pink. A bit shorter than Nectarwand Red, it branches lower with a broader bushier habit. Just like the other false vervains, it is adored by butterflies and hummingbirds. As the plants grow, trim any flower stems that get excessively long and start curling. This will give them a neater appearance.
