Description
Mr Fothergill’s Verbena Compact Mix Seeds, Colourful and fragrant, for beds & pots. When the first flowers fade, trim back the plants to encourage repeat flowerings.
Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm deep in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 20-25°C. is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm apart to further trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 20cm apart, when frosts are over.
• A half hardy annual, flowers the same year as sown
• Fragrant and long flowering mix of bold colours
• Delightful in beds, borders, baskets and planters
