RHS guidance for verbenas recommends full sun and well-drained soil, and notes summer flowering and visits from bees and butterflies. These broader recommendations apply to the genus; allow the trailing stems room to spread in a container or sunny border.

Pair with compatible neighboring plants while leaving airflow around the foliage and space for the stems. ## Maintenance Water after planting while roots establish, then check the soil during dry weather. Use a container with open drainage or a garden site where water does not collect around the roots. Remove faded clusters when desired.
