Growing Verbena: Heat-Tolerant Color from Spring to Fall

Overview

Verbena (pronounced ver-bee'-nuh) has long been a favorite of southern gardeners for its ability to bloom continuously from late spring into fall, even in intense heat. These vigorous, long-blooming plants are ideal for edging walks or filling containers.

Growing Conditions

• Light: Full sun.
• Soil: Average garden soil.

Care

Verbena is relatively carefree. To encourage rebloom, remove spent flowers regularly.
