Instruction
1. At verbena quite long term of vegetation therefore in our climate it is the best of all to grow up it through seedling. Otherwise it is possible not to wait for blossoming at all. It is necessary to begin landings in the middle of February - the beginning of March.
2. Make suitable for verbena pochvosmes. The plant needs light, not really nutritious soil. For this purpose take the earth from your garden and mix it with clean sand in the ratio 2:1. Fill the soil in landing boxes, and from above put layer of coarse-grained sand about 5 mm thick. On surface spread out seeds (they rather large), then slightly press them into the soil and humidify from spray.
3. Stratification is necessary for seeds of verbena. They need to create small stress, in this case shoots will be amicable, and plants strong. Put boxes with crops for 2-3 weeks on the lower shelf of the fridge, after that transfer to the warm place.
4. As soon as there are first shoots, the verbena needs to be put to the solar place as the plant is very photophilous. Water seedling in process of drying of top layer, try not pereuvlazhnyat earth lump as at excess watering the seedlings weaken and can die.
5. At emergence of 2-3 real leaflets to raspikiruyta seedlings in separate pots also you prishchipnit their tops that will contribute to the development of side escapes, and at you compact magnificent bushes will turn out.
6. In 1-2 weeks prior to disembarkation in soil begin to temper verbena seedling. You take out it in the afternoon in garden or expose on balcony. Such saplings easily transfer easy frosts which happen at the end of spring and the beginning of summer therefore on the constant place it can be landed in the middle of May.
