Description
Verbena Vectura Soft Pink Eye is a new annual variety with soft pink flowers and a brighter eye. This variety has a compact and spreading habit, good drought resistance and tolerance to spring frosts, as well as early flowering.
Verbena Vectura Soft Pink Eye has a spreading and compact habit, reaching a height of 30cm (12in) and a width of 40 to 50cm (16 to 20in). It is suitable for container and hanging basket cultivation, as well as in border plantings. In spring, it produces star-shaped flowers with bifid petals in a soft pink colour that bloom until September.
This garden Verbena is appreciated for its soft colour and abundant spring flowering that lasts all summer. Easy to grow, Verbena thrives in bright exposures and is fairly resistant to drought and heat.
Green plants measuring 4 to 8cm (2 to 3in) in plug plant trays of 5 small plugs, with a diameter of 2.5cm (1in) and a height of 4cm (2in). Our plants are at least eight weeks old and strong enough to be planted in the ground.
Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, repot and store them in a sheltered area (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your Verveins in the ground or in a pot. If you wish to plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed (this hybrid tolerates small late frosts quite well). In the meantime, you can cultivate them in a warm and bright place in a pot to accelerate their growth. Plant your Verveins in a sunny location. They need well-draining soil. They tolerate drought well. Water regularly but without excess. Very floriferous and with rapid growth, they are greedy. We recommend feeding them with a liquid fertiliser for containers once or twice a week during the growth period. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking beautiful and prolong flowering.

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).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
