Verbena (Verbena Hybrids Nana Compacta Mix) - What a brilliant display of colors in this Verbena seed mix. This Verbena variety is an aggressive growing ground cover plant that starts blooming in early spring and will bloom all summer long, clear up until frost season begins. This attractive plant has flower clusters up to 3 inches wide. In addition to being a great ground cover plant, Verbena uses include hanging baskets, containers, and window boxes where it looks beautiful spilling over the edges.
Verbena flowers will typically grow as a perennial ground cover in USDA Zones 8 - 10 where no frost or very light frost occurs. In colder zones where heavy frost or prolonged snowfall is normal, plan on your Verbena plants just being an annual. Verbena plants like full sun, moderate water, and good drainage. Without good drainage they are prone to mildew. Verbena care includes trimming the plants back 1 - 2 times per season to keep them looking tidy and stimulate new blooms. You only need to fertilize Verbena ground cover plants once a year and this is usually done in the spring. Use a complete, balanced fertilizer that is not too high in nitrogen. Butterflies love Verbena, but thankfully Verbena plants are deer and rabbit resistant.
How To Grow Verbena From Seed: Soak Verbena seeds in tepid water 24 hours prior to sowing. Sow the seeds in starter trays, using a sterilized peaty mix. Press Verbena seeds into the soil and lightly cover with peat moss. Verbena ground cover seeds need darkness for germination. Cover the starter tray with newspaper or black plastic with air holes cut into it and keep out of direct sun. Transplant Verbena seedlings into the garden 12 - 18 inches apart.
