Species and varieties: Verbena is a genus in the family Verbenaceae. The deep purple variety is known for its vibrant, rich purple flowers. Common species include Verbena bonariensis and Verbena rigida.
Hybrid or heirloom: Deep purple verbena seeds are often available in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, while hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as color intensity and disease resistance.
Pruning and training: Regular deadheading of spent flowers encourages continuous blooming. Pruning back the plant by one-third in mid-summer can promote a fresh flush of growth and flowers.
Fertilization needs: Verbena benefits from a balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied at planting time. Additional feeding with a liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season can enhance blooming and overall plant health.
Hardiness zones: Verbena is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 7-11. In cooler climates, it can be grown as an annual.
Climate requirements: Verbena thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate drought once established. It is not frost-tolerant, so in colder regions, it should be planted after the last frost date.
