A magnet for a whole host of pollinating insects. This tall and graceful border plant, Verbena bonariensis looks fantastic growing through contrasting lower growing plants and in drifts at the back of mixed borders . Winter hardy in most of the UK and if given some protection in colder regions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSow indoors, January-April, to flower the same year, 0.5cm (¼\") deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a greenhouse or on a warm, kitchen windowsill. A temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 21-35 days. If germination is slow or erratic, place the tray in a refrigerator or outside for 1-2 weeks, then return to the warmth. Transplant seedlings to 7.5cm (3\") pots of compost, when large enough to handle. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out into well-drained soil, May-June, 45cm (18\") apart, when frosts are over. Flowers: July to October.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bosworths Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53372867510608,"sku":"281546","price":3.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/3368\/3792\/files\/47239_VERBENA_20bonariensis.jpg?v=1786438441","url":"https:\/\/www.bosworthsgc.co.uk\/products\/mr-fothergills-nh-verbena-bonariensis","provider":"Bosworths Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
