If you are looking for a plant that blooms nonstop from early summer to fall and requires only a minimum of attention, then verbena is the answer. Verbena will provide an endless display of colorful summer flowers when planted in the sunniest and possibly driest area of your landscaping. This family of tender perennials show off finely cut foliage topped by spectacular clusters of purple, red, white, yellow, orange, or bi-colored blooms. The nectar-rich flowers are also prized by butterflies and hummingbirds. Depending on the variety, verbena will grow 12 to 30 inches in either upright or trailing forms. It is a sun-worshipper that makes a magnificent addition to garden beds, window boxes, or hanging baskets.
Plant verbena in a sunny location with well-drained soil. If you are growing verbena in pots or other containers, it is best to use a commercial potting soil mix. Verbena is drought tolerant, but blooms best if not forced to dry out. Water whenever the soil feels dry to the touch. Be sure to deadhead the flowers as they fade to promote additional blooms.
