Voodoo Red Star is an annual flowering plant native to North America. Westhoff developed this cultivar for mildew resistance and heat tolerance. This plant offers a semi-trailing habit of 8-12" tall and 18-32" wide, with starburst red and white flowers blooming from early spring until frost. Flourishing in full sun with regular water, Verbena excels in containers, landscape borders, hanging baskets, or as a groundcover. This long-blooming, self-cleaning flower brings continuous color, attracting pollinators to the garden. For a vibrant show of color, grow Voodoo Red Star alongside Optik Grape.

Coach Your Customer
1. Space plants 12-18" apart in well-drained to dry soil in full sun.
2. Water once a week or more often in dry weather. Verbena is susceptible to powdery mildew, especially in overly wet conditions. This variety offers mildew resistance but should grow in full sun.
3. Remove plants after frost or replace them in the spring.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Voodoo Red Star, plant one rooted plug per 4- or 6-inch container or three per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.2, EC of 1.0-1.5, temperatures of 65-76 daytime and 58-65 nighttime, and medium feed (150-250 ppm N). Pinch once at transplant and use low temperatures to control height. This plant is susceptible to powdery mildew and you may see whiteflies.
Flowering
Starburst red and white flowers bloom from early spring until frost.
Pinching
Pinch once at transplant.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight to the base of each plant.
Height Control
Use cooler temperatures to control height.
Pests
You may see whiteflies.
Disease
Powdery mildew can be a problem with Verbena. This variety is mildew resistant, but you may also use a protective fungicide. Control the disease with Daconil ULTREX and Mural or Heritage fungicide in rotation with a myclobutanil chemical such as Eagle or Hoist.
Watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. Prevent botrytis and other diseases with these measures in your greenhouse:
1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry between waterings.
2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse.
3. Space containers so the sun can penetrate to the soil level of each plant.
The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.
Planting Voodoo Red Star Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4- or 6-inch container or three per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepots evenly spaced or centered in the containers.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
