Description
Verbena Virgo Burgundy is a vigorous and resistant variety, with a bushy, compact, and semi-trailing habit. From summer to autumn, it is adorned with an abundance of dark pink to burgundy spherical umbels, appearing at the ends of its stems on delicate, slightly velvety, medium green foliage. Cultivated as an annual, it is ideal for pots and hanging baskets, and looks lovely in summer borders. It is a generous, floriferous, and undemanding plant that tolerates drought and poor soils. It requires full sun.
Verbena Virgo Burgundy belongs to the Verbenaceae family and is a horticultural hybrid whose ancestors inhabited the warm regions of South America. This plant forms a compact and slightly trailing clump that is rather squat, measuring 25 to 30cm (10 to 12in) tall, and spreading about 35 to 45cm (14 to 18in). It tirelessly produces flexible and erect stems from early summer until the first frost, which produce beautiful dense and round bouquets composed of tiny wine-coloured flowers resembling those of phlox. This perennial plant succumbs to frost, so it is grown as an annual in our climate.
Garden verbenas are truly easy plants to grow, suffering more from excess water and nutrients than from occasional neglect. They overflow from hanging baskets, and slip between other upright plants in pots or planters, concealing their base without suffering from their presence. They are also beautiful in rockeries and on banks, quickly filling in the spaces left by damage caused by a harsh winter. Create a beautiful hanging basket by combining it with a white geranium, a purple-leaved ipomoea, and blue lobelias.
Our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transplant and store them in shelters (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
Plant in a sunny position. They require light and humus-rich soil, and appreciate a moderate supply of fertiliser and water. They tolerate rather dry soil quite well. You can plant your verbenas in pots, hanging baskets, or flower boxes. In pots, they should be regularly watered, without excess, letting the surface dry between two waterings.
They are fragile perennials that are usually grown as annuals. You can bring them indoors at the first sign of frost to extend their flowering period during autumn and winter. Outdoor cultivation is possible by the seaside, by mulching well in winter and protecting the stump from moisture with plastic.
Prune lightly in March.

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.
