Product description

Verbena Lavender is a highly dependable, semi-evergreen tender perennial grown as a summer bedding favourite. Prized for its trailing, mat-forming habit, it produces dense clusters of small, tubular, soft lavender-purple flowers that act as an absolute magnet for passing bees and butterflies. Because its foliage is finely lobed and slightly textured, it creates a lush, highly efficient ground cover or container edge-spiller that softens hard container rims perfectly.

This sun-worshipper demands a south or west-facing position in full, unobstructed sunlight to prevent its trailing stems from stretching and becoming leggy. Plant it in a well-draining loam or sandy potting mix with a neutral to slightly acidic pH, ensuring the top inch of compost dries out between waterings to prevent root rot. To keep the floral engine running from June until the first autumn frosts, apply a liquid feed weekly and give the plant a light trim with shears mid-season to encourage fresh, bushy side shoots.
