Growing verbena in containers is a great way to bring summer color and attract pollinators if you don’t have the luxury of a large garden. Any smaller space can be lifted by the long-lasting, cheerful blooms that a verbena bonariensis can provide. The slender, branching stems can also create a gentle screen on a balcony or patio, provided you get the conditions right for verbena to thrive.
Getting the drainage right tops the list of priorities, which determines the type of pot and compost you need to use. For guaranteed success growing verbena in pots, you should also find a sunny spot, be careful with watering, and regularly fertilize the plants to keep the verbena flowering for longer.
