Superbena® Large Lilac Blue Verbena Care

No deadheading is required for continuous blooms making this an easy to care for plant.

Amend the soil with compost or apply a slow-release fertilizer before planting. Container grown plants may need a second fertilizer application for optimal flowering and growth. Verbena Superbena Large Lilac Blue doesn’t need pruning but can be sparingly trimmed anytime to encourage more branching to produce a fuller plant.

Verbena Superbena Large Lilac Blue is hardy in USDA planting zones 8 through 11. Grow it as an annual in colder climates. It may survive indoors as a houseplant if placed in a sunny, warm location.

Superbena® Large Lilac Blue Verbena Spacing

When planting Superbena Large Lilac Blue in garden beds, space each plant 10 to 14 inches apart. Plants may be spaced as close as 6 inches apart in a container to create a more filled in look. Do not cram an individual plant into a small pot. It will not bloom as profusely as under optimal conditions.
