Jerry-
My vote goes to Verbena "Homestead Purple." It spread like wild,
bloomed like crazy, was tolerant of my lack of watering, survived "child
abuse" (as in, it was planted at the base of the deck steps and got
trampled, pulled, and "watered" with who-knows-what.)
I covered it over for the winter and was pleased to see that some
plants had survived my zone 6/7 climate. But, I failed to mention this
to the hubby and he dumped a load of Belgian block on them. Oh well.
Have fun
