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.

Verbena Violet Blue seeds are sown in May. The plants flower from June to October. The months are a guide for a temperate climate — in warmer areas sow 1–2 weeks earlier, in cooler or upland areas, later.
How to sow and grow Verbena Violet Blue
- Sowing method: seedlings
- Depth: 0.3 cm
- Spacing: 25–30 cm
- Germination: 14–28 days at 20–25 °C
- Position: sunny spot
Sow the seeds in February – March to raise seedlings, as they need more time to develop. Scatter the verbena seed and cover it with a thin layer of soil – about 1-2 cm. Young plants are transplanted 20 cm apart. The seedlings germinate slowly – in about 3 weeks.
Sow for seedlings in February–March. Germination is slow and uneven — 1–2 weeks of cold stratification in the refrigerator helps.
