How to prune Verbena

When to prune Verbena

Verbena is usually heavily pruned in May-June or August-September every year because the summer is hot and the autumn is rainy, which is not conducive to its growth. After pruning, it will sprout a large number of new branches and grow more luxuriantly in spring and winter.

How to prune the branches of Verbena

When pruning petunia, you usually cut off the overly dense branches, as well as the remaining flowers and some old branches on the plant. When heavy pruning, usually 3-5 thick branches are retained on each plant. The branches do not need to be too long, about 10 cm in length will be fine.

Verbena needs to be properly pruned at ordinary times. During the growing season, some yellow or dead leaves must be pruned in time, because they affect the appearance of the plant. Usually, pruning is carried out every two months, and some dead branches should also be cut off.

When caring for petunia, it is necessary to prune the dead branches and yellow leaves of the plant at the appropriate time. This will not only make the plant more beautiful, but also promote the development of side branches of the plant.
