Moss Verbena Groundcover

Description

Moss verbena (Verbena tenuisecta) is a popular groundcover known for its delicate, fern-like foliage and vibrant purple flowers. Here are its growing conditions:
– Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
– Soil: Thrives in well-drained soil. It is tolerant of poor soil conditions.
– Watering: Drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering helps maintain vigorous growth and flowering.
– Temperature: Prefers warm climates. Hardy in USDA zones 7-11.
– Spacing: Plant 12-18 inches apart to allow for spreading.
– Maintenance: Low-maintenance. Prune to control spread and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming.
– Pests/Diseases: Generally pest-free, but watch for aphids and powdery mildew.
Moss verbena is an excellent choice for covering large areas, preventing soil erosion, and adding color to landscapes.
