General Information: 

Verbena is a versatile and beautiful flowering plant that can add a touch of elegance to any garden or landscape. With its vibrant colours and delicate blooms, verbena is a popular choice among gardeners. 

Planting and Care

Verbena thrives in well-drained soil and requires full sun to bloom abundantly. Follow these steps to ensure successful planting and care:

  1. Prepare the soil: Before planting, amend the soil with organic matter to improve drainage and fertility.
  2. Watering: Water the newly planted verbena thoroughly and keep the soil evenly moist until the plant becomes established.
  3. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once a month during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
  4. Pruning: Regularly deadhead verbena by removing faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming. 

Pest and Disease Control

While verbena is generally a hardy plant, it can be susceptible to certain pests and diseases. Here are some common issues to watch out for:

  • Aphids: These small insects can suck the sap from verbena leaves and cause stunted growth. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to control aphids.
  • Powdery Mildew: This fungal disease appears as a white powdery coating on the leaves. To prevent powdery mildew, ensure good air circulation around the plants and avoid overhead watering.
  • Spider Mites: These tiny pests can cause yellowing and webbing on the leaves. Use a strong jet of water to dislodge spider mites or apply insecticidal soap.
