Description

Red verbena is a vigorous flowering perennial commonly cultivated as a warm-season annual, valued for abundant clusters of vivid crimson-red tiny tubular blossoms. Numerous small blooms gather into flat-topped umbels held high on thin, branching stems, forming loose, spreading mounds filled with striking warm-toned color. The saturated red blooms create eye-catching contrast against green foliage and pair beautifully with blue, white and yellow flowering varieties in mixed garden arrangements. Boasting strong heat endurance, this verbena maintains steady flowering from early summer deep into autumn, bringing long-lasting vibrant color when many other blooms slow under high temperatures.
This red verbena brings graceful texture and bold color to multiple garden styles. It excels in border front layers, rock gardens, patio planters, hanging baskets and dedicated pollinator spaces. Shallow open flower clusters supply easily reachable nectar, regularly attracting butterflies, native bees and beneficial hoverflies. After rooting fully, it shows good drought resistance. A light trim of spent stems encourages fresh branching and continuous bud production, delivering months of consistent red floral appeal with minimal routine care.

Planting Season: Start indoor sowing 8–10 weeks before last spring frost; move transplants outdoors after all frost risk disappears
Light Requirement: Full sun (6+ hours direct sunlight daily; insufficient sunlight leads to reduced flowering)
Soil Requirements: Well-drained ordinary garden soil; tolerates low fertility; avoid heavy clay prone to waterlogging
Seed Prep: Cold stratify seeds at 35–40°F (2–4°C) for 14–21 days to break natural dormancy
Planting Depth: Press seeds gently onto soil surface; do not fully cover, light supports germination
Water Needs: Maintain even mild moisture during sprouting; water moderately once established, let soil dry between watering cycles
Seedling Spacing: Space transplants 18–24 inches (46–61 cm) apart to allow spreading stems room to develop
USDA Hardiness Zones: Perennial in zones 7–11; grown as warm-season annual in zones 2–6
Additional Tips: Light pruning stimulates denser growth and more blooms; poor drainage easily triggers root rot
