How to Grow and Care for Verbena lilacina 'De La Mina'

If you're considering adding this stunning plant to your garden, here are some essential tips to ensure its healthy growth:

Planting

Choose a well-draining location with fertile soil. Prepare the planting area by loosening the soil and removing any weeds. Dig a hole slightly larger than the plant's container, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Fill the hole with soil, gently firming it around the plant.

Watering

Verbena lilacina 'De La Mina' prefers moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Over-watering can lead to root rot, so it's important to maintain balanced moisture levels.

Pruning

Regular pruning helps promote bushier growth and enhances overall appearance. Trim back spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Cut back any damaged or straggly stems to maintain a neat and tidy appearance.

Fertilization

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season to provide essential nutrients for healthy plant development. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper application.
