Verbena bonariensis

Leave faded flower heads on the plant over winter, to provide structure in the garden as well as shelter for hibernating insects.

• When planting, grow in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun.
• Dig a hole that is slightly deeper than the supplied pot, and three times the width.
• Remove the plant from the pot and tease out some of the roots.
• Place in the hole at the same level of the pot then refill the hole with the earth removed.
• Firm in around the hole with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well, before adding mulch to the base.
• Any potted or container Verbena needs to be watered regularly to avoid the compost for drying out. Hot weather requires daily watering. Avoid wetting the leaves as this can cause some fungal disease. 
• Apply mulch to the surrounding soil to help hold in moisture.
• Verbena bonariensis can suffer dieback in harsh winters if cut back in autumn, so it's best to leave the plant until spring and cut back the old growth when you see the new shoots emerging at the base.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
