I planted purple Verbena last month. It flourished and flowered for several weeks and then the blooms disappeared. It's been 3 weeks and still nothing, but the stems are strong and green and nothing is dried out. We've had good rains and I fertlized them. I've read that you don't have to "dead head" Verbena so do I just keep waiting and they will bloom again on their own? Thanks!!
My Verbena has stopped flowering. Can you help?
Even though you put fertilizer on them, go get some "bloom booster" plant food. I put it on mine every year and they go crazy. It mixes with water and don't get it on the foliage. You can find it at Wal-mart, Lowe's, etc.
Reply:it will flower again. it sounds as though you have done everything you are supposed to.
When you buy annuals, often they are forced into blossom- people need to see the color to buy them. Yours may just not be ready to bloom in the outdoor conditions in your neighborhood.
I have some beds with red verbena (forget the variety), but it is doing rather well..
Reply:I deadhead mine and when the stop producing new flowers or the stems get leggy, I cut them back by about one third.
