How to Care for Verbena

• During their blooming period, water the plants once a week if they do not receive an inch of rain that week.
• When bloom slows during the summer, trim the whole plant back by about one fourth of its height. Water thoroughly. Rebloom will occur within 2 to 3 weeks.
• Apply a complete fertilizer (16-4-8) in mid- to late spring and again after trimming back.
• In the fall, you can trim back the plants lightly to give them a neater appearance, but do not cut severely until spring, when new growth begins to appear.
• Some varieties will re-seed and naturalize in the garden.
