How to Grow
Start Verbena Bonariensis seeds indoors early or sow outside after frost. They prefer sunny spots and well-drained soil for best growth.
Sowing
Scatter on firm, damp soil and pat down. Cover with soil and place in a sealed clear container in a sunny spot until germination.
Plant care
To prune Verbena flowers effectively, especially when learning how to deadhead Verbena, it's recommended to wait until the first flush of blooms fades in spring. Then, for optimal results, trim back the top quarter of the plant to encourage a second blooming.
