Outsidepride Verbena White - 1000 Seeds

Verbena hybrids nana compacta is simply known as Verbena. It is a tender perennial that is usually grown as an annual in most parts of the United States. It is usually considered to be both rabbit and deer resistant. This variety of Verbena is a wonderful low-growing flower that works well as a ground cover or in baskets and containers. It is a brilliant white in color and looks lovely spilling over the edges of a window box! Verbena has flower clusters that can measure up to 3 inches across, and it will bloom from late spring right up until the first frosts of fall. Start Verbena seed indoors 4 - 6 weeks before the last expected frost date. Soak the seed in tepid water for 24 hours prior to planting. Press the seed into soil, cover lightly with peat moss and keep the seed moist. Verbena seed needs darkness to germinate, so cover the starter trays with black plastic or newspaper with air holes cut in it. With a temperature of 75F, germination is usually within 28 days. Grow Verbena in full sun and well-drained soil. Space plants 12 - 18 inches apart. Trimming Verbena back 1 - 2 times during the growing season tidies their appearance and stimulates more blooms.
