Planting and care
- While the verbena flower is drought resistant, the blooms are improved with regular watering of an inch or so each week
- Water verbena plants at the base to avoid wetting the foliage
- However, verbena plant care may not include weekly water if rainfall in your area has reached an inch or more
- A limited application of complete, slow-release fertilizer is also a part of verbena plant care
- Apply in spring and again following the occasional trims needed for optimum bloom
- When planted in proper verbena growing conditions, expect blooms the first season
- Continued blooms throughout the summer are possible if the gardener keeps the plant trimmed back
- Some are hesitant to remove parts of the plant regularly, but this is often necessary when planting verbena for summer blooms
- When blooms slow, trim the entire plant back by one fourth for a new show of flowers in two to three weeks
- Fertilize lightly following the trim and water well
- Repeat this step as needed when learning how to grow verbena successfully
- When planting verbena, remember to water, fertilize and trim for long lasting color in the summer garden and beyond
