Blind Love Combination

Blind Love pours magenta, candy-stripe pink, and pure white blooms over a 12-inch basket from late spring until hard frost. Supertunia hybrid ‘Royal Magenta’ supplies the deep background, Supertunia hybrid ‘Lovie Dovie’ adds star-patterned pinwheels, and Superbena hybrid ‘Whiteout’ finishes the mix with oversized verbena clusters. Each plant begins as a neat six-inch mound, then trails up to two feet, creating a full, flowing dome that perfumes the air and draws in passing hummingbirds.Heat tolerance, self-cleaning petals, and strong mildew resistance keep color reliable through midsummer spikes and early autumn cool-downs. All three varieties share a mounded-then-cascading habit, so stems interlace evenly. Grow the combination in hanging baskets, patio urns, window boxes, or at the front of raised beds where stems can drape freely. Butterflies often pause on the verbena umbels, adding extra motion to the display.Blind Love Combination CarePlant Blind Love in a peat-based mix amended for quick drainage, then water deeply, and let the top inch of soil dry before the next soak. Fertilize with a water-soluble bloom booster every other week to fuel continuous flowering. Full sun produces the richest color, but four to six hours of light will still give a good show. If stems seem leggy in late July, shear the planting by one-third and feed; fresh buds appear in about ten days.Treat the trio as an annual outside zones 10–11; frost ends the show, though containers can spend winter in a bright sunroom for a few extra weeks of color. In frost-free gardens, a late-winter trim plus fresh fertilizer renews growth for a second season. Expect eight to nine months of steady bloom given warmth and regular feeding.Blind Love Combination SpacingPlant a standard 12-inch basket with one Royal Magenta in the middle and two Lovie Dovie and Whiteout starts around the rim; choose a 14-inch pot if you prefer a looser arrangement. Use a container at least ten inches deep with drainage holes to keep roots healthy. In raised beds or along retaining walls, set transplants 12 inches apart so mounds eventually meet by mid-summer.
