Verbena (Verbena Hybrids Nana Compacta Scarlet) - Do you need a colorful, fast growing ground cover plant for your summer landscape? Look no further than this lovely, low-growing scarlet Verbena. These breathtaking scarlet Verbena flowers are easy to establish from Verbena seeds and they quickly form a dense mat with 2 1/2 - 3 inch bloom clusters that bloom non-stop from late spring until fall.
How To Grow Verbena From Seed: Soak Verbena ground cover seeds in tepid water 24 hours prior to sowing. Sow the seed 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.
Want to do a mass Verbena planting? No problem! You can sow Verbena ground cover seeds directly outdoors in spring when frost season is completely over. Be patient, as these flower seeds can be slow to germinate, but just keep the seed moist with warm temperatures and before long you will have a beautiful ground cover. For the earliest blooms, start the Verbena seeds indoors for transplanting.
