Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No specific seed preparation is required beyond ensuring the seeds are fresh and not damaged.
Sowing:
Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Method: Scatter seeds lightly on top of a seed-starting mix. Press them gently into the soil, but do not cover them with additional soil, as they require light to germinate.
Germination:
Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination. Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until germination occurs, usually within 10-15 days.
Transplanting:
Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and when seedlings have developed their second set of true leaves. Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in well-prepared garden soil or in containers with adequate drainage.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during dry periods, but avoid overwatering. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Winter Care: In colder climates, treat Verbena as an annual or bring containers indoors before the first frost.
