VERBENA: vary by species.
V. bipinnatifida.
V. bonariensis.
V. X hybrida garden verbena.

All different, all 8 inches to 18 inches high, with a spread of 18 inches to 3 ft spread. Always in bloom, self seeding, no problems with bugs or deceases, very drought tolerent, low water use, fast growing small ground cover or single plant, good for dry banks, boarders, hanging baskets, loves hot, dry, sunny places.
Colors range from white, pink, blue, purple & bright red. Easy to grow, plant & forget. Most good nurserys will have them in stock. Another great, but overlooked garden plant for the southwest (year around color) or as annual back east. Try 'um, you'll like 'um, and you'll tell your friends.

The best flower I can think of for the size and color you were wanting would be Blue Blazes. They are very hardy in many different soils and climates. They have very dark green leaves and beautiful blue-purple flowers. The flowers are about the size of a dime (a little smaller though). They will reseed themselves, but after the third year they will grow a little taller than the regular height of 4-6". You can find the plants at any home/garden center or get them faster by planting the seeds indoors. Either way they a non-invasive plant. And my best opinion.
Happy gardening!

Nice plant for Zone 5, Michigan here. Try Geranium 'Rozanne'. It blooms continuously from the end of June to frost. Flowers are big and a lovely shade of purplish-blue. Don't cut the plants back in the fall, though, wait til spring for bed clean-up on these. They start small in the spring but rapidly fill the area once they get going. Stays under 2 feet. Gorgeous.

it rather is crucial to appreciate in spite of if the vegetation would be in shade or solar. are you able to offer slightly greater info? ok- to your section interior the solar: For some top and green interior the background, i assumed those alternatives may be high quality. Perennials: (greater costly yet will final 12 months after 12 months) Viburnum- med length shrub that blooms seasonally gray Owl Juniper- ask for the female ones they furnish you with blue cones Holly - consistently a outstanding evergreen with dark waxy leaves interior the foreground some annuals for a splash of shade. indexed right here are some to make your mind up from that I even have used and prefer: Cosmos- they are taller than maximum annuals Impatiens- they are not drought hardy and do choose a minimum of partial shade yet in any different case very beautiful. African daisies- very pleased flower i think of Zinnia-pop of shade! Now i'm going to recommend an herb-Rosemary. there's a bush kind it fairly is fairly hardy and in case you have it next to a walkway the scent is staggering for passersby. i might opt to bypass on some friendly suggestion if i might additionally. circulate to an excellent nursery not a branch shop backyard center. you're able to have knowledgeable team obtainable to you and healthful vegetation.

You should state what zone you are in, what living conditions (how much water, sun, etc).
Also, why would a plant NEED dead heading? It's been my experience that dead heading does not extend flowering times. When a plant is ready to bolt, it bolts.
Of course, bear in mind that self-seeding means you are not dead heading... If you are dead heading, then no plant self seeds.
