How to Plant Verbena from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Indoors: Start seeds 8-10 weeks before the last frost.
  • Outdoors: Direct sow seeds after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach 60°F (16°C).

Preparing the Planting Site

  1. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
  2. Loosen the soil and remove weeds or debris.
  3. Amend with compost or sand if necessary for better drainage.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

  1. Scatter seeds on the soil surface, lightly pressing them into the ground.
  2. Do not cover with soil, as Verbena seeds require light to germinate.
  3. Water gently and keep the soil moist but not soggy.
  4. Germination occurs within 14-28 days.

Sowing Seeds Indoors

  1. Fill seed trays with a light potting mix.
  2. Sprinkle seeds on top and lightly press them into the soil.
  3. Keep the trays in a warm location (70-75°F / 21-24°C) with bright light.
  4. Mist regularly to keep the soil damp.
  5. Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have two sets of true leaves and after the last frost.

Pro Tip

For continuous blooms, deadhead spent flowers and feed with a balanced fertilizer.

Bonus: Verbena attracts butterflies and bees, making it a great choice for a pollinator-friendly garden!

Getting to know your Verbena

Verbena is a drought-tolerant flowering plant that produces clusters of small, vibrant blooms in shades of purple, pink, red, white, and blue. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, containers, and borders. Verbena varieties can be upright or trailing, with some spreading types commonly used as ground covers. It blooms continuously from spring to fall, attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees. While verbena is low-maintenance, occasional deadheading encourages prolonged flowering. It is highly resistant to heat and drought but benefits from regular watering. Some varieties, such as Brazilian verbena (Verbena bonariensis), can reach up to 4 feet in height, adding vertical interest to gardens.
