- Hybrid or heirloom: Dark red verbena seeds are typically hybrid varieties, bred for their intense color and robust growth. Hybrid varieties often offer improved disease resistance and uniformity in growth.
- Pruning and training: Regular deadheading of spent flowers encourages continuous blooming. Light pruning can help maintain the plant's shape and promote bushier growth. Pinching back the tips of young plants can also encourage branching.
- Fertilization needs: Verbena benefits from a balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied at planting time. During the growing season, a monthly application of a water-soluble fertilizer can support vigorous growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
