Verbena hybrids nana compacta is simply known as Verbena. This variety of Verbena is a wonderful low-growing flower that works well as a ground cover or in baskets and containers. It is a deep scarlet red in color and looks lovely spilling over the edges of a window box! Verbena has flower clusters that can measure up to 3 inches across, and it will bloom from late spring right up until the first frosts of fall. It is usually considered to be both rabbit and deer resistant. Start Verbena seed indoors 4 - 6 weeks before the last expected frost date. Soak the seed in tepid water for 24 hours prior to planting. Press the seed into soil, cover lightly with peat moss and keep the seed moist. Verbena seed needs darkness to germinate, so cover the starter trays with black plastic or newspaper with air holes cut in it. With a temperature of 75F, germination is usually within 28 days. Grow Verbena in full sun and well-drained soil. Space plants 12 - 18 inches apart. Trimming Verbena back 1 - 2 times during the growing season tidies their appearance and stimulates more blooms.
