First, you need to choose sunny areas when planting.
The plant is not afraid of direct sunlight, so you should not be afraid of burns.
If you plant verbena in the shade, it will stretch out and gain a lot of green mass, but flowering will be sparse.
Secondly, the plant loves loam most of all.
Planting verbena in open ground
Verbena grows well in any light, both in partial shade and in the sun.
Nevertheless, in order for the plant to bloom as luxuriantly and brightly as possible, it needs to be planted in a sunny area, and direct rays of the sun will not harm it.
Nutritious loam is the best choice for this crop.
Why does verbena grow poorly
Verbena does not tolerate excess moisture, so its watering is limited, preventing the soil from becoming waterlogged.
It does not like organic fertilizers, which acidify the soil, and verbena does not grow well in acidic soils.
Only on very poor soils are plants fed with flower fertilizers.
How often should verbena be watered
Verbena hybrida's greatest need for water occurs during the hottest months of the year.
During the height of summer, you may need to water this plant more than once a week, depending on how quickly the soil dries out.
Should verbena be pruned
Regular pruning will not only not harm the plant, but will also help Buenos Aires Verbena bloom more.
There are two main forms of pruning Verbena Buenos Aires.
The first is "deadheading", which in gardening is called removing spent flower heads when they begin to wilt.
