Verbena tenuisecta (Moss Verbena, Mix Colours)
General Description
Verbena tenuisecta, commonly known as Moss Verbena, is a vibrant, drought-tolerant flowering plant prized for its long blooming season and delicate, fern-like foliage. Native to South America, this low-growing perennial thrives in warm climates and is widely cultivated as an ornamental ground cover. The mix-colour variety produces a stunning blend of purple, pink, lavender, and white flowers, creating a continuous burst of color in gardens and landscapes. Popular for its resilience and low-maintenance nature, Moss Verbena is an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, and container plantings.
Plant Characteristics
Moss Verbena forms a spreading, trailing mat of finely divided green foliage, reaching a height of 15 to 30 cm and spreading up to 60 cm. The plant produces clusters of small, five-petaled flowers in various shades, blooming profusely from late spring to autumn. It is highly adaptable to hot, dry conditions and can thrive in poor soils, making it ideal for xeriscaping and erosion control. Its vigorous growth habit allows it to quickly cover bare ground, providing a lush, colorful carpet of blooms.
Taste and Benefits
Although not commonly used as an edible plant, Verbena tenuisecta belongs to the broader verbena family, some members of which have been traditionally used in herbal medicine. This variety, however, is primarily cultivated for its ornamental appeal rather than its culinary or medicinal properties.
Cultivation Recommendations
Moss Verbena thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for hot and dry climates. Seeds should be sown in early spring after the last frost or in autumn in frost-free regions. Lightly press the seeds into the soil without covering them completely, as they require light for germination. Watering should be moderate until the plants establish, after which they become highly drought-resistant. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming, and occasional trimming helps maintain a compact, tidy growth habit.
Uses and Benefits
Verbena tenuisecta is widely used as a ground cover in gardens, along pathways, and in mixed flower beds due to its spreading nature and extended flowering period. It is highly attractive to pollinators, particularly butterflies and bees, contributing to a healthier garden ecosystem. The plant is also an excellent choice for container gardening, hanging baskets, and slopes where erosion control is needed. Its ability to thrive in challenging conditions makes it a favorite among gardeners looking for a low-maintenance yet visually striking plant.
Packaging
The seeds are carefully selected and packed in moisture-resistant packaging to ensure high germination rates and long-term viability.
Shipping Information
Orders are processed within 1–2 days and shipped worldwide, including across India. Delivery typically takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the destination.
