Verbena (Verbena spp.) is a stunning, versatile flowering plant that adds vibrant color and texture to any garden or landscape. Known for its long-lasting blooms and resilience, the tall variety of Verbena produces abundant clusters of colorful flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Perfect for adding height and visual interest to garden beds, borders, and containers, Verbena Tall Seeds are a must-have for both seasoned gardeners and beginners.
Key Features of Verbena – Tall Seeds
Vibrant, Clusters of Flowers Verbena Tall is celebrated for its impressive flower clusters that come in a variety of vibrant colors, including purple, pink, red, white, and blue. These clusters bloom continuously from spring to fall, adding a stunning display of color to your garden for months. The flowers are excellent for attracting pollinators, making them a great choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.
Tall Growth Habit As the name suggests, Verbena Tall has a robust, upright growth habit, reaching heights of 18-36 inches. This makes it ideal for planting in the background of garden beds, along borders, or as a focal point in mixed plantings. Its tall stature provides excellent coverage and structure to any garden.
Drought-Tolerant and Low Maintenance Verbena Tall is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for gardens in dry or low-water conditions. It thrives in full sun and can withstand periods of heat and dryness. This variety is low maintenance, requiring little attention beyond occasional deadheading to encourage continued blooming.
Attracts Pollinators Verbena Tall is a magnet for pollinators, particularly bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its bright flowers provide a valuable food source for these important species, supporting biodiversity in your garden.
Benefits of Verbena – Tall Seeds
Ideal for Flower Beds and Borders With its tall, bushy growth and vibrant blooms, Verbena Tall makes a fantastic addition to flower beds and garden borders. It works well as a backdrop for smaller plants and can be used to create a colorful screen or as a filler plant for mixed flower gardens.
Perfect for Containers and Hanging Baskets Though it grows tall, Verbena Tall is also suitable for containers and hanging baskets. The cascading flower clusters create a beautiful display in patio pots, window boxes, and balcony gardens.
Heat and Drought Tolerant Verbena Tall thrives in hot, sunny climates and can handle dry conditions once established. This makes it a great choice for gardeners in warmer areas or those looking for a hardy plant that requires minimal watering.
Attracts Pollinators By planting Verbena Tall, you’ll not only add beauty to your garden, but you'll also help support local ecosystems by attracting pollinators. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds flock to the vibrant blooms, making this an ideal plant for a pollinator-friendly garden.
How to Plant and Care for Verbena – Tall Seeds
Starting Seeds Sow Verbena Tall seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a seed-starting mix and lightly cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and warm (70-75°F or 21-24°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-14 days.
Transplanting Seedlings Once seedlings are large enough to handle and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Space the plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for ample growth and airflow.
Watering Verbena Tall is drought-tolerant but requires regular watering when establishing itself. Once established, water deeply but infrequently to promote strong root growth. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Let the soil dry out between waterings.
Lighting Verbena Tall requires full sun to thrive and bloom profusely. Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If growing indoors, place your plants in a sunny windowsill or provide supplemental grow lights.
Temperature Verbena Tall prefers warm temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C). It is frost-sensitive, so plant it after the danger of frost has passed in spring or start it indoors if necessary.
Fertilizing Verbena Tall benefits from a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Be cautious not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth with fewer flowers.
Deadheading To promote continuous blooming, remove spent flowers regularly by pinching or cutting them off. This encourages the plant to produce new blooms and prevents the plant from going to seed too early.
