High verbena is best cut back in spring. Spring is also the best time for planting. Plant 10 to 12 verbenas per square metre. Soil that is well drained (humus or compost with sand) is best. They also tolerate loam if you add a little sand. In the pot or in the planting tray, give them standard soil. In the open and in pots you should water and water sometimes.
