Just catching-up with some of your earlier videos. I love this plant. Have planted one of these and 3 Verbena Buenos Aires in my small garden. I plant for wildlife, and you're right, the bees, butterflies, and day flying moths; especially the Humming Bird Hawk Moth, absolutely love them as well! Keep up the good work.

Please do about ornamental grass. I am afraid to add them in my garden because some are invasive. My garden is very small. I want few to dot around but I don't know what to choose.

@LuciaBukovaLushspaces 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for you comment and the suggestion. I definitely will make a video on ornamental grasses in the future. The best start is to define the garden conditions (soil, sun/shade, border size,wind) and also think what you are trying to achieve and what interest you are looking for. Unity is always the best policy for small gardens especially. So think less is more. Good luck and let me know if you need any help. 😊

Thank you for all of this information. A gorgeous video. I planted two of these this year and I’m wondering, do they grow as a clump and if so, can they be divided?

@LuciaBukovaLushspaces 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much for your lovely comment, Kim. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Yes, the form a clump, which you can also divide in spring, but most likely the self-seeded plants will be thriving better than the divided transplanted plant. I hope this helps, good luck with tour beautiful verbenas and I hope you’ll enjoy my other videos, too. Take care.😊

@@LuciaBukovaLushspaces I planted the two of these 2020. The leaves are still good and strong. What can I do with faded flower? Should I cut it off.?

@LuciaBukovaLushspaces 3 жыл бұрын

@@tommyhodges2105 The best thing is to prune them down in spring (or when you see the new growth). You can be quite harsh and prune them down almost to the ground (about 10cm above the ground) or just above the first new shoots. And obviously, definitely take off any dead or diseased stems to make space for new ones. I should make a video on this once I’m going to be trimming my down. Thank you for watching, Tommy.😊

Love the video LUcia! Thank you soo much for sharing your knowledge and experience with this beautiful plant. I wanted to ask if is it possible, or what will be the best moment to dig it out and change a little bit the location of my main plant? My verbena is massive :) I also wanted to ask if you know what is it for a plant in the 5:13 minute of your video? This beautiful yellow plant? Thank you in advance!

@LuciaBukovaLushspaces 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Paulina! Thank you very much for your lovely comment. 🥰 Indeed verbena is an amazing plant and it creates interest in the garden for most of the year if you don’t prune it before winter. When it comes to moving or dividing the plant, you can do this in spring or even now if the soil isn’t frozen. It depends on where you are in the world as well. And to answer your question about the yellow flowering plant from the video, that’s a variety of Achillea (yarrow), they’re very worthy plants, too. I hope this answers your questions. Thank you again for watching and I wish you all the best! 😊

Thank you. Enjoyed your video. I just planted some verbena bonariensis so wonderful to get more information. Of the other varieties you mentioned, would they all be suitable as a cut flower? i.e. would they be tall like the bonariensis?

@LuciaBukovaLushspaces 3 жыл бұрын

You are welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I believe bonariensis is the tallest and most airy but the others would also be suitable for cut flowers, only with shorter stems. If you are after that airy look maybe try gypsophila. 😊 Thank you very much for watching my videos. 😊🙏🏻

@gidgecalvert1718 2 жыл бұрын

Do you need to deadhead the bonariensis?

@LuciaBukovaLushspaces 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Gidge, thank you for your question. Deadheading will increase the flowering season, although most perennial varieties will flower until the first frosts anyway. I personally don’t deadhead it, because I want them to self-seed and I enjoy their spent flower heads. Plus, it’s less maintenance 😜 What you could do is to deadhead some and leave the rest, in that case you get the best of both worlds. I hope this helps. 😊🌸

@pamelafrydman4429 5 ай бұрын

I’m in zone 6a. Do you recommend direct sow or start indoors? If indoors, what is the best method? Thank you!

@LuciaBukovaLushspaces 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching!🙏 I’d sow it indoors in warm place about 8-12 weeks before your last frost. Hopefully by then, you’ll have nice seedlings/plants to plant outside after the frost has passed. You can then also direct sow and you’ll see which one does better. I guess in your climate, verbena will be more of an annual. Here it’s a perennial and it self seeds everywhere, I absolutely love it!🥰 I’d try to put some seeds to cold stratify (put them in a freezer) for about a week or two before sowing, as well. Like this you will definitely see what works best for you. I hope this helped! Let me know how you got on.☺️👍

question I Have a verbena bonariensis plant and I see all kinds of soaps and lotions and air fresheners with Verbena scents.... how can you harvest this from the plant is it from the leaves or the flowers?

@LuciaBukovaLushspaces 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the question again, Demethress😊 When it comes to scented goods from verbena, this is most likely from the scented verbena plants, like for example lemon verbena, which is a herb. In this case, the foliage mostly is harvested and used. I guess you can use verbena bonariensis flowers as a decoration within a soap or anything. Unfortunately, they’re not perfumed. I hope this helps.😊 Thank you again for watching and commenting 🙏🏻

I plant my flower area for the bees and butterflies.What varieties of Verbena are best for this.

@LuciaBukovaLushspaces Жыл бұрын

I’d say all of them, bonariensis is a bee magnet but also the lower varieties are very nectar rich. In general, any open flower is popular with the bees and butterflies. Thank you for watching and your lovely comment! Keep up the good work!❤️ 🐝 🦋🌸
