Verbena Tenuisecta – Moss Verbena is a magnificent looking plant with lovely 2-inch clusters of 5 – 15 blooms ranging in colors from violet, lilac, purple, and blue. These flowers are borne above fern-like, almost mossy, finely cut, dark green leaves. The species name “tenuisecta” means thinly cut, which refers to the delicate foliage. These showy plants have a blooming season ranging from spring to summer, will grow between 8 – 12 inches tall, and do best in full sun with moist well-drained soil. Butterfly enthusiasts really appreciate this plant for its nearly magnetic attraction to butterflies. This plant will not only attract butterflies to your garden, but it will also attract hummingbirds and bees while being resistant to deer and rabbits. It is native to South America, and will do best in beds, containers, and do well in acting as a groundcover. They are also low maintenance and drought tolerant.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
