Product description
Verbena Mammoth Hybrids are known for their robust growth and large, showy flower clusters that add a splash of colour to any garden. These hybrids produce an array of vibrant hues, making them a perfect choice for borders, containers, and hanging baskets. Their compact growth habit makes them an excellent option for smaller gardens or for filling in gaps in larger planting schemes.
Sow the seeds indoors from February to April, using seed trays filled with fine compost. Maintain a temperature of 18-21C to aid germination, which typically occurs within 14-21 days. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots, and then plant them outdoors after the risk of frost has passed. Space the plants about 20cm apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil to ensure optimal growth and blooming.
To keep your Verbena Mammoth Hybrids healthy and blooming throughout the summer, water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. These low-maintenance plants are perfect for adding long-lasting colour to your garden and are relatively resistant to pests and diseases, making them a great choice for gardeners of all experience levels.
