Verbena Scentsation

Half Hardy Annual
 
Height  20-30cm (8-12in)
Sow February to April
 
Flowers  June to October
 
WHERE TO SOW   Sow seed on the surface of a good free-draining damp seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or a warm place at a temperature of 24-27C until after germination which usually takes 14-21 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep compost on the dry side at all times, and only water lightly as seedlings emerge.

WHAT TO DO NEXT  Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12") apart.

Handy Tip Plant in baskets or containers where you regularly pass to enjoy the fragrance.
