Barely planted, these vervains bloom regularly. The white flowers are like snowy lace on the deep green foliage. They thrive in pots as well as in flower beds.

Description
Verbena 'Virgo White' develops long stems adorned with dark green foliage and clusters of small sparkling white star-shaped flowers, bringing a fine and infinitely delicate texture to all your compositions. It cascades from hanging baskets, and lightens up potted plants and all perennials in rockeries or flower beds. This frost-tender perennial is most often grown as an annual due to its rapid growth and long flowering period. It is a generous, disease-resistant, floriferous, and undemanding plant, but it requires full sun.
'Virgo White' belongs to the Verbenaceae family. It is a recent horticultural hybrid whose ancestors inhabited the warm regions of South America. Its stems are adorned with fine, slightly hairy foliage of a very dark green colour. In mild climates it will remain evergreen when planted in the ground. This plant forms a compact and trailing tuft, reaching about 25 to 30cm (10 to 12in) in height and spreading about 50cm (20in). From early summer until the first frost, it produces a mass of upright stems that gracefully fall, lengthening at the same time as the umbels of tiny pure white flowers bloom. This perennial plant succumbs to frost and is grown as an annual in our climates.
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 planting it with an orange, red, or bright pink geranium (in the centre), black petunias, 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 location. They need 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, allowing the surface to 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.
Plan for light pruning in March.
Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage the plant to branch out and produce new blooms.

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.
