Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.

How to sow and grow Verbena Compact - White
- Sowing method: seedlings
- Depth: 0.3 cm
- Spacing: 25–30 cm
- Germination: 14–28 days at 20–25 °C
- Position: sunny spot
Soak the verbena seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours before sowing. Sow the seeds in starter trays using a sterilised peat mix. Press the seeds into the soil and cover lightly with peat moss. The seeds need darkness to germinate. Cover the starter tray with newspaper or black plastic with air holes cut in it, and keep it out of direct sunlight. Transplant the seedlings into the garden at 12 - 18 cm. apart.
Sow for seedlings in February–March. Germination is slow and uneven — 1–2 weeks of cold stratification in the refrigerator helps.
