Verbena is a low-growing, spreading flowering plant that produces small, fragrant flowers in shades of pink, purple, blue, and white. It is a perennial plant that thrives in warm weather and is often used as a groundcover or in containers.

Climate
Verbena prefers:

- Temperature: 65-95°F (18-35°C)
- Humidity: 40-60%
- Full sun to partial shade (at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight)

Watering
- Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
- Avoid getting water on the leaves or crown to prevent rot
- Watering frequency: every 2-3 days in hot weather, once a week in cooler weather

Medicinal Uses
Verbena has been used in traditional medicine for:

- Treating digestive issues, such as bloating and gas
- Relieving stress and anxiety
- Improving sleep quality
- Treating skin conditions, such as eczema and acne
- Antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties

Fertilization
- Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (20-20-20) during the growing season (spring-fall)
- Dilute fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid burning the roots
- Fertilize every 2-3 weeks

Composting
- Use a well-draining potting mix with a pH range of 6.0-7.0
- Add compost or worm casting to the potting mix to improve soil fertility and structure
- Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds

Caring Methods
- Prune regularly to maintain shape and promote new growth
- Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooming
- Monitor for pests, such as aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites
- Keep the plant away from extreme temperatures and wind

Planting Method
- Choose a location with good drainage
- Plant Verbena in the spring or summer, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart
- Water thoroughly after planting
- Provide support for the plant as it grows, such as a trellis or cage

Propagation
- Stem cuttings: Take 4-6 inch stem cuttings, remove lower leaves, and plant in a pot filled with a well-draining mix. Keep the soil moist and warm until roots develop.
- Division: Divide the plant in the spring or summer, making sure each division has at least one growing stem and some roots.

Common Problems
- Leaf spot: Fungal disease caused by overwatering or poor air circulation
- Powdery mildew: Fungal disease caused by high humidity and poor air circulation
- Pests: Aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and mealybugs

By following these guidelines, you'll be able to keep your Verbena happy, healthy, and thriving throughout the summer season.
