Water Verbena × hybrida regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering in cooler months or when the plant is dormant to prevent root rot.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming and prevent seed formation. Prune back leggy stems by about one-third in mid-summer to encourage bushier growth and a more compact plant.

Light pruning can also be done in early spring.

Verbena × hybrida is typically propagated from seeds sown indoors in early spring, or by taking stem cuttings in late spring or early summer. Cuttings should be taken from healthy, non-flowering shoots and rooted in a well-draining potting mix.

Repot young plants annually in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years, or when root-bound.

Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil to ensure healthy growth and prevent waterlogging.
