Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
Pink verbena does best with plenty of sunlight, similar to the light levels it experiences in its natural habitat. It can, however, tolerate somewhat lower light. Too much or too little light can harm the plant, causing problems such as stunted growth or discoloration.
🌡️ Temperature 5–37.8°C
Pink verbena originates from areas where temperatures are usually between 68 and 100 °F (20 to 38 ℃). It prefers these moderately warm conditions, so seasonal adjustments may be needed to keep temperatures within that range.

🪴 Soil 6-7
🌱 Fertilizer
After Pink verbena has opened most of its blooms to full size, you should resume fertilizing. When the flowers are at their peak, apply fertilizer once every three to four weeks, weather permitting. Then, once Pink verbena begins producing fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there’s no need to feed the plant when it cannot produce additional blooms.
