Flowering period of Verbena serrata

1. Flowering period

The flowering period of this flower is from April to October, and it can last for a long time during this period. If properly maintained, it can be extended to November. Its flowers come in a variety of colors, and different plants have different colors, but they are all very bright, and its small flowers bloom densely, which is one of the reasons why major green areas or courtyards and flower beds like to plant it.

2. Flowering period regulation

In fact, the flowering period of this plant can be controlled, and the method is very simple. During its growing period, you can pinch the top of the plant several times to allow more side branches to grow, making the plant more dense, and also controlling the flowering period. If you want it to bloom during the National Day, you can pinch off the top of the plant between September 5th and 8th; if you want it to bloom in early July or late June, you can pinch off the top of the plant between June 6th and 9th, so that it will reach its peak flowering period around early July.

Of course, this also needs to be divided into different varieties, and the environment in different places is different, so the time for pinching may be advanced or delayed. This depends on your actual environment. For example, the time required from topping to flowering for several varieties in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province are: 23 days for the white variety, 24 days for the pink variety, 21 days for the rose-red variety, 22 days for the bright red variety, and 23 days for the purple variety.
