Description
Verbena hybrida Ideal Florist Mix, called Verbena hybrida compacta, is a robust plant that is generally grown as an annual, that withstands all types of weather conditions very well. A compact, spreading variety bearing a multitude of flowers in a variety of very lively, vibrant colours with attractive small white eyes. It will bring a lot of cheerfulness to flowerbeds, patios and container displays. This selection is remarkably blooms early in the year and is remarkably long flowering, presenting blooms from June to October. Grow in the sun, in rich, well-drained soil.
Garden verbena is a fast-growing, tender perennial belonging to the family Verbenaceae, which originates from the tropical zones of South America. The 'Ideal Florist Mix' variety has a dense, sprawling growth habit, forming clumps that grow 30 cm high and 20 cm wide. The branched stems are spreading, upright or trailing, giving the plant a compact and dense form. The foliage consists of delicate, dark green leaves with finely cut edges that can sometimes even be lobed. From late spring onwards, garden verbena starts blooming generously all throughout the year, only coming to a halt with the first frosts. A multitude of small, fragrant flowers in bright shades of white, violet, blue, mauve, pink or red, always with small white eyes, grouped in dense, flat or rounded umbels, bloom at the tops of its stems.
Verbena hybrida Ideal Florist Mix thrives in the sun, in fertile, well-drained soils. Highly ornamental, it embellishes flowerbeds and borders for many months, as well as window boxes and hanging baskets, accompanied by Pelargonium, Lobelia, Calibrachoa and sweet alyssum. Sprawling varieties can be used as a dazzling ground cover.

Planting and care
Time of sowing : February to April. Sow garden verbena seeds in pots or tubs filled with moist compost. Do not cover the seeds. Place the container in a propagator or a warm place and keep them at a temperature between 24 and 27 °C. Keep seedlings in the light as this helps germination. Emergence usually occurs after 14 to 21 days. Keep the compost moist, but as soon as the seedlings appear, avoid overwatering. When the seedlings are large enough, transplant them into 7.5 cm diameter pots or tubs. Gradually acclimatize the young plants to outdoor conditions for a few weeks. When all risk of frosts have passed, plant them out in open ground (30 cm apart) or in individual pots.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
