Light

Full Sun

Water

Verbena 'Vanessa' prefers regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist while establishing and during extended dry periods. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings, as verbena performs best in well-drained soil and does not tolerate soggy conditions. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant.

Care Level

Verbena 'Vanessa' is easy to grow and maintain. Remove spent blooms as needed to encourage continuous flowering, water regularly while establishing, and fertilize occasionally during the growing season for the best performance. Light trimming will help maintain a full, tidy shape.

Optimal Temperature

Verbena 'Vanessa' thrives in warm temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F) and performs best in full sun. It is highly tolerant of summer heat and blooms continuously throughout the growing season. Growth slows when temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F), and the plant is not frost tolerant.
