Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your mixed verbena live plants is straightforward, making them an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels. These plants prefer conditions that mimic their native environments, ensuring robust growth and abundant flowering. For optimal bloom production, verbena requires ample sunlight. Plant them in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Full sun exposure is crucial for the most vibrant and continuous blooms. Ensure they are planted in well-draining soil; verbena does not tolerate soggy conditions. A sandy or loamy soil mix is ideal, and amending heavy clay soils with organic matter can improve drainage significantly.

When it comes to watering, verbena plants are quite resilient. They appreciate moderate watering, especially when first planted and during prolonged dry spells. Once established, they exhibit strong drought tolerant verbena characteristics, making them a water-wise choice for your garden. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Fertilization is generally not heavily required; a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer applied once in spring can encourage vigorous growth and flowering. Deadheading spent blooms, or ‘pinching back,’ can encourage more branching and a bushier growth habit, leading to even more flowers. This practice also prevents the plant from expending energy on seed production, directing it instead towards continuous blooming. Keep an eye out for common garden pests, though verbena is generally quite resistant. With proper care, your outdoor verbena flowers will provide a spectacular show.
