Verbena Plants: Colourful, Pollinator-Friendly Blooms for UK Gardens | Dartana Plants

Verbena is a vibrant and versatile plant that’s perfect for adding colour and attracting pollinators to UK gardens. Known for its long-lasting blooms and easy-care nature, Verbena thrives in sunny spots and works beautifully in borders, containers, and hanging baskets. Popular varieties include Verbena bonariensis, with tall stems and purple flowers loved by butterflies; Verbena rigida, a compact and hardy option for borders; and Trailing Verbena, ideal for cascading displays in baskets and window boxes.

Verbena prefers full sun, requiring at least six hours of sunlight daily, and grows best in well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Regular watering during dry spells and deadheading spent flowers will keep your plants blooming throughout the season. Apply a balanced fertiliser during the growing period for optimal growth. In colder regions, protect plants with mulch or bring containers indoors for winter.
