CARE TIPS
SOIL & FERTILIZER
Superbena® Verbena are vigorous, heat tolerant, and mildew tolerant. While always great in containers, they are also fantastic in landscape beds. They can tolerate dry soils and lower fertility. Normally either an application of slow release fertilizer or amending with compost is enough to keep them happy and blooming in landscape beds.
TRIMMING
They shouldn’t need to be trimmed back but can be given a “haircut” – a trim back – using a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears at any time. While naturally well branched, trimming them back will encourage additional branching, fuller plants, and ultimately more flowers. You can give them a very slight trim as you transplant to boost branching.
