Planting and Care for Verbena
Sowing: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-drained soil or grow bags. Germination can be slow and uneven, so patience is needed; keeping seeds in darkness during germination can help.
Growing: Water regularly during establishment; tolerates dry spells well once mature. Avoid overhead watering to reduce fungal issues like powdery mildew.
Blooming: Flowers typically appear 60-80 days after sowing and continue through the warm season. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
Precautions While Growing Verbena
Use well-drained soil, as Verbena is sensitive to waterlogged conditions

Watch for powdery mildew, especially in humid conditions; ensure good air circulation
