Moss Verbena (Verbena tenuisecta) – A Hardy Groundcover for South African Gardens
Moss Verbena is a popular, low-maintenance groundcover, prized for its feathery foliage and striking purple blooms. Ideal for South African conditions, it thrives in hot, dry climates and adds year-round colour to your garden.
Growing Conditions:
Sunlight: Loves full sun but can handle light shade.
Soil: Grows best in well-drained soil and adapts to poor soils.
Watering: Drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering for lush growth.
Climate: Prefers warm temperatures and does well in frost-free regions.
Spacing: Plant 30-45 cm apart to allow room for spreading.
Maintenance: Very low-maintenance. Trim back to control growth and promote a bushier shape. Deadheading will encourage longer flowering.
Pests/Diseases: Generally pest-free, though aphids and powdery mildew can appear in humid conditions.
Perfect for covering large areas, stabilising slopes, and filling gaps between stepping stones, Moss Verbena is a vibrant, fuss-free addition to any water-wise garden.
