Verbena Planting & Care   

Verbenas demand a full sun location. Plants growing in low light areas will bloom poorly if at all, and will be susceptible to powdery mildew and insect pests.

After choosing a sunny area of your landscape, make sure your soil has adequate drainage for your verbenas. Heavy clay will lead to root rot, so dig in several shovelfuls of compost or leaf moldto lighten your soil. Keep plants evenly moist until established, when they can tolerate some dry spells.

Verbena Care

Verbena is somewhat drought tolerant, and it certainly doesn’t like boggy conditions, but you must not over water it either. Soggy plants will succumb to botrytis blight, but drought stressed plants will attract spider mites. Water verbena as you might your lawn, with an inch of rain or irrigation each week.

All verbenas benefit greatly from regular deadheading. This not only removes the seed heads that signal the plant to rest, but also helps to keep sprawling plants in their place in your landscape. If you have a large planting of low-growing verbena, you can accomplish this quickly with a string trimmer.

Verbenas aren’t heavy feeders, but they do appreciate a monthly application of balanced flower fertilizer to help them keep up the flower show, which can last from spring until frost.

If your verbenas show signs of insect pest infestation, you will have to balance your desire to use an insecticide with your desire to nourish your butterfly population. If you do decide to spray, remember that plants grown in shade or heavy soil will continue to attract pests. Insecticide doesn’t fix poor gardening practices.
