Growth Characteristics of Garden Verbena (Verbena × hybrida) Garden verbena is a perennial herbaceous plant that generally grows to a height of 20 to 45 cm. It produces flowers in various colors and boasts a long flowering period, particularly from summer to autumn. The more sunlight it receives, the more abundant the blooms. It thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates slightly dry conditions relatively well. Propagation Methods Garden verbena can be propagated by seeds, cuttings, and division. When propagating by seeds, sow them shallowly in the spring and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Germination takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Late summer or early autumn is the appropriate time for cuttings; simply select a healthy stem to plant.
