Growing Guide for Pakistan

• Sowing time: September to October in the plains; September in Islamabad; October to November in Karachi.
• Method: Nursery trays. Cover seed lightly, 3 mm; verbena prefers darkness to germinate, and a barely-moist mix, wet trays rot the seed.
• Germination: 14–21 days at 20–24°C, often uneven; patience wins.
• Transplanting: At 4–6 leaves, 25 cm apart.
• Flowering: December to April; trim leggy stems to refresh.
• Sun and water: Full sun; water sparingly once established.

Verbena is a known slow starter; see why seeds fail to germinate in Pakistan and what to sow in September.

Germination-tested in Lahore before shipping, since 1932. See the deep-blue Quartz Blue verbena too in our winter flower seeds collection.
