Growing Information and Planting Tips:

• Light Preference: Verbena Bonariensis Buenos Aires thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. More sun generally leads to more prolific blooming and taller growth.
• Soil Requirements: Highly adaptable to various soil types, but prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil. It tolerates poorer soil conditions well, but excellent drainage is key to success.
• Starting Seeds Indoors: For an earlier bloom, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last expected frost date.
• Direct Sowing Outdoors: Alternatively, sow directly outdoors once the weather has warmed and all danger of frost has passed.
• Light for Germination: Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, but do not cover them, as they require light to germinate.
• Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes 7-21 days.
• Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them outdoors, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart to ensure adequate air circulation and robust growth.
