Verbena (Verbena Hybrids Nana Compacta Rose) - Growing Verbena ground cover seeds is so rewarding! This versatile little annual is a must have for the summer landscape. Verbena plants are great for hanging baskets, pots, or window boxes. They also make nice edging plants along the sunny border, or they can create a lovely ground cover for a sunny area. Verbena ground cover plants like full sun, moderate water, and good drainage. Verbena care includes providing a fertilizer for the plants once in the late spring and shearing back the Verbena plants 1 - 2 times per season to keep them tidy and to stimulate new blooms.

Soak Verbena seeds in tepid water 24 hours prior to sowing. Sow Verbena seeds in starter trays, using a sterilized peaty mix. Press the flower seeds into the soil and lightly cover with peat moss. Verbena ground cover seeds need darkness for germination. Cover the starter tray with newspaper or black plastic with air holes cut into it and keep out of direct sun.

Verbena Tenuisecta

Moss Verbena (Verbena Tenuisecta) - Is there a place in your garden for these stunning ground cover plants? You will want Moss Verbena because it blooms all summer long with violet or pink flowers on spreading plants, and the foliage is fern-like and attractive. Moss Verbena comes from South America, and it performs well in hot, sunny locations with sandy and infertile soils. It is very easy to establish from Verbena seeds, and it provides nectar for honeybees and butterflies.

Moss Verbena ground cover plants will grow as perennial in frost-free zones. For colder climates, grow this Verbena as an annual. It adds great color to meadows, use it in sunny flower borders, and it also works well in containers or baskets.

It is recommended to sow Moss Verbena seeds directly outdoors in the late fall. The cold temperatures actually help to break the dormancy of the seed, so when spring temperatures warm, the Verbena seeds are ready to germinate. Broadcast the Moss Verbena ground cover seeds in prepared soil that is weed free. Lightly rake the seed under the soil.

Approximately 1/8 pound of Moss Verbena ground cover seed covers 2000 square feet or 6 pounds per acre.

Verbena Canadensis

Verbena (Verbena Canadensis) - Starting Verbena seeds is a great way to establish this low-growing perennial that is commonly known as Rose Verbena, Homestead Verbena or Trailing Verbena. These easy-to-grow perennial ground cover plants have clusters of deep violet-rose colored blooms. Rose Verbena Canadensis is great in containers or hanging baskets. It thrives in sun and heat, but it will take some afternoon shade. Upright companions make a good contrast to the low-growing form of this Rose Verbena ground cover. It blooms spring to fall, and is ideal for a butterfly garden. Butterflies cannot leave Verbena plants alone.

Sow Verbena seeds directly outdoors onto a prepared seedbed. Fall plantings are recommended as the cold temperatures help to break the dormancy of the Verbena seeds. Verbena Canadensis care includes trimming back the plants when flowering becomes sparse to encourage fresh growth and flowers.

Verbena Hybrida

Verbena (Verbena Hybrids Nana Compacta Apricot) - Verbena is one of the garden essentials that bloom from spring to fall with very little fuss. This annual is easy-to-grow from Verbena seeds, and it's such a versatile little plant. Apricot Verbena flowers are particularly gorgeous in hanging baskets and containers, and they are great for edging a border or as general ground cover plants. In frost-free climates it is grown as a perennial, but most of us will grow it as an annual. These low growing ground cover plants grow in clumps that reach a height of approximately 8 inches.

Verbena plants like full sun, moderate water, and good drainage. Without good drainage they are prone to mildew. Verbena care includes trimming the plants back 1 - 2 times per season to keep them looking tidy and stimulate new bloom. You only need to fertilize Verbena ground cover plants once a year and this is usually done in the spring. Use a complete, balanced fertilizer that is not too high in nitrogen. Butterflies love apricot Verbena, but thankfully Verbena plants are deer and rabbit resistant.

How To Grow Verbena From Seed: Soak Verbena seeds in tepid water 24 hours prior to sowing. Sow the ground cover seeds in starter trays, using a sterilized peaty mix. Press Verbena seeds into the soil and lightly cover with peat moss. Verbena ground cover seeds need darkness for germination. Cover the starter tray with newspaper or black plastic with air holes cut into it and keep out of direct sun. Transplant Verbena seedlings into the garden 12 - 18 inches apart.

Verbena Hastata

Verbena (Verbena Hastata Blue Vervain) - Start Verbena seeds and grow this flowering drought tolerant plant with numerous, pencil-like flower spikes that branch upwards like the arms of a candelabra. Commonly called Blue Vervain, some say the plant resembles a candelabra with blue flames! Each flower spike has a band of blue-purple flowers that begin opening at the bottom of the spike first, and then gradually open all the way to the top of the spike.

Bumblebees are among the important pollinators of this important Verbena Blue Vervain. The tall thin spikes of Blue Vervain plants grace the wet meadows of the United States in late summer. Verbena Hastata flowers are short-lived perennials that readily self-sow, and they can be found in wet meadows, wet river bottom lands, stream banks, slough peripheries, fields and waste areas.

Growing Blue Vervain seed is greatly rewarding! It is recommended to sow Verbena Hastata seeds directly outdoors in the late fall. The cold temperatures actually help to break the dormancy of the flower seed, so when spring temperatures warm, the Verbena seeds are ready to germinate. Broadcast the Verbena seeds in prepared soil that is weed free. Lightly rake the seed under the soil. Thin the Blue Vervain seedlings to 24 inches apart.

LATIN NAME

Verbena Stricta

Verbena (Verbena Stricta) - Known as Hoary Vervain, this is another perennial that is grown from Verbena seeds. Hoary Vervain grows in narrow upright clumps 24 - 36 inches tall with showy flowers that are densely packed on narrow pencil-like spikes. The Hoary Vervain flowers bloom from the bottom of the spike up and are a violet blue color. The stems and leaves are heavily covered with long white hairs giving the foliage a whitish-green appearance. The leaves are up to 4 inches long and 2 1/2 inches across. Hoary Verbena makes an excellent cut flower, and butterflies use the foliage for their larva.

The Hoary Vervain plant grows best in full sun and average to dry conditions. It will flourish in poor soil consisting of clay, sand, or gravel. It will also grow well in rich loamy soil, but will often be out-competed by other plants. Drought resistance is good, although some of the lower leaves may shrivel and fall off the plant if enough water is not received.

Verbena seeds can be sown directly outdoors into prepared seedbeds. Late fall sowing is recommended as the Hoary Vervain flower seeds respond well to cold temperatures. If Hoary Vervain seeds are planted in the spring, a cold treatment needs to be done before planting. Dampen a paper towel, spread the flower seeds on the towel and carefully roll the towel up. Place the damp towel with the seeds in a ziploc bag and seal it. Place the bag with Verbena seeds into the refrigerator for 4 weeks. After the cold treatment, Hoary Vervain seed can be started in the spring or even indoors.

Approximately 33,000 seeds per ounce.
