VERBENA tenuisecta - Purple Moss Verbena
Family: Verbenaceae
Characteristics: Perennial often grown as an annual 20-30 cm
Seed per packet: Approx. 300
Seed per gram: Approx. 1,050
Purple Moss Verbena is a spreading perennial with lovely, aromatic fern-like foliage and beautiful purple flowers. It is long-blooming and makes a great ground cover or can be used for permanent erosion control. In colder climates, it can be treated as an annual.
It is more vigorous than its hybrid cousins, so it is best planted at the front of a mixed border or in a container.
According to ancient legends, Moss Verbena was associated with supernatural power and was even used to prepare the body of Jesus for burial.
Verbena are drought-tolerant, making them a hardy and low-maintenance choice for your garden.
For best results, sow 6mm deep directly into the soil where they are to grow. If growing in trays, transplant when large enough to handle.
Tropical: Late Summer to Early Spring.
Temperate: Spring or Late-Summer and Autumn.
Cold: Spring to Early Summer
Germination: 21-28 days at a soil temperature of 21-24°C.
