Growing Conditions

To ensure successful germination and vibrant growth of your Verbena Compacta plants, follow these essential guidelines:

• Light Requirements: Verbena Compacta thrives in full sun. Plant it in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
• Soil Preferences: The plants prefer well-draining soils that are slightly acidic to neutral. Ensure the soil is not too heavy or compacted, as this can lead to root rot. Adding organic matter to the soil will help improve drainage and fertility.
• Planting Tips: Directly sow the seeds outdoors after the last frost date or start seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the final frost. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep them moist. Verbena Compacta can be grown in beds, borders, containers, or hanging baskets.
• Watering Instructions: Water regularly to keep the soil moist until the plants are established. Once established, they are relatively drought-tolerant, though occasional watering during dry spells will help them thrive. Avoid overwatering, as Verbena prefers dry to moderate moisture levels.

USDA Growing Zones

The Annual Verbena Compacta grows best in USDA hardiness zones 6-11. It is ideal for warmer climates, where it can grow as a seasonal annual and provide vibrant color throughout the summer and into the fall.

Global Growing Zones

Watering Tips

• During establishment: Water regularly, but ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent waterlogging.
• Once mature: Verbena Compacta is relatively drought-tolerant, but occasional watering will encourage stronger blooming. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
