Sparkling Rose may sound like an adult libation at your favorite Italian restaurant, but in the gardening world it is a Superbena or, should I say, a Super Verbena. Some in the green industry might consider it a novelty bedding plant mainly because of its coloration. Personally, I don t like the adjective "novelty," mostly because of the dictionary s No. 2 definition of the word, which is "small and inexpensive."
