Growing Non-GMO Verbena Quartz XP Series Flower Seeds

For earliest blooms, verbena Quartz XP Series seeds may be sown indoors 8-10 weeks before transplanting, either indoors or out. Quartz XP Series seeds germinate faster than other varieties. For direct outdoor sowing, plant verbena Quartz XP Series seeds 0.125 inch deep and 10-14 inches apart in average, loamy, and well-drained soil with full sun, although seedlings can tolerate some shade.

Verbena can tolerate some drought, and too much watering can cause problems. Water regularly, but allow the soil to dry 1-2 inches deep between each irrigation. Deadhead the spent flowers to stimulate new growth and more flowering. Do not cut back more than a quarter the length of the stems; they can be trimmed any time of year that they need it.

About Verbena Quartz XP Series Garden Seeds

Verbena has been used to treat inflammation, heart conditions, and depression. Consult with your healthcare provider before treating any medical condition at home.

Verbena Quartz XP Burgundy is a 1999 All-American Selection (AAS) Bedding Plant Winner and 1999 Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner for its garden performance, mildew resistance, and for "matching all the criteria required for a good summer flower." But the color was the decision maker for Fleuroselect in awarding its prestigious Gold Medal.

Verbenas got their scientific name from a Latin word that refers to the fact that it was used in sacrificial ceremonies and was considered to be very powerful in ancient times. Note that the variety used anciently was likely Verbena oficinalis.

Verbena x hybrida, also known as vervain, is a sun-hardy perennial native to Northern Mexico and the southwestern United States but has since naturalized throughout many comparable climates across the world.

Anytime you begin seeds indoors, they need to be hardened off before transplanting them outdoors. This essentially means to slowly acclimatize the seedlings to their new environment by placing them outside for a few hours each day and gradually increasing the amount of time until they can be planted out full-time.

Verbenas can also be grown as an annual for gardeners in lower growing zones.
