Verbena

Question

I have planted verbena seed over a month ago and it still is not coming up? What could be the problem? Are some varieties of verbena harder to start than others?

Answer 1

These require being in the dark, and can take anywhere up to 12 weeks to start. Place them in a dark area and check them each day to make sure they haven't started. If they have, you will want to transplant these that have into the light.
