Growing verbena from seed – here is everything you need to know

Verbena with purple flower and pollinator.

Verbena is one of the most popular perennials and for good reason, blooming through spring and summer right up until the first frost. These plants are superb additions to flower beds and landscaped backyards, especially for those looking to maximize color in their yard. 

Whilst there are many different species and varieties, one of the most well-known is Verbena bonariensis, seen in the image above. Flowers appear atop wiry stems that gently move in the wind, working well when planted alongside ornamental grasses. For those seeking a prairie aesthetic with a mixture of native perennials and grasses, this verbena would make a great addition.
