How can you grow Verbena in a hanging basket or pot?

Potted verbenas are not very difficult to grow with basic care and maintenance, and you can easily use the instructions and tips that we are mentioning here to grow a Verbena flower in a hanging basket. 

When to plant 

Verbena grows the best during the warm months of the year, so you should plant it then in late spring or early summer. You can also plant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. 

Light 

Even though Verbenas can grow in partial sunlight, you should grow them in full sun to ensure that they bloom well. Hang your baskets or pots in locations where they at least get 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. 

Soil 

Use soil that retains moisture and is well-draining, as you are planting them in hanging baskets. You can simply choose an all-purpose potting mix, rather than garden soil. The soil mix has all the necessary elements that the plant needs to thrive. 

Water 

You should keep your soil moist, but it should not be too soggy. Overwatering the plant can result in powdery mildew or root rot. Also, make sure that the topsoil has dried out before watering the plant again. 

With these basic instructions, you can easily grow a Verbena in your home. You can also refer to the website Abodelook to learn more about the same.
