2. Vibrant Purple Flowers:

5. Low Maintenance:

Maintenance Tips:

Caring for Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' is straightforward and requires minimal effort:

1. Sunlight and Soil:

   • Plant 'Lollipop' Verbena in a sunny location with well-drained soil. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent powdery mildew.

2. Watering:

   • Water newly planted 'Lollipop' Verbena regularly to establish a strong root system. Once established, water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overhead watering to prevent foliar diseases.

3. Deadheading:

   • Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain the plant's tidy appearance. Trim back any leggy stems to promote bushier growth and prevent flopping.

4. Fertilization:

   • 'Lollipop' Verbena generally does not require heavy fertilization. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth and abundant flowering.

5. Winter Care:

   • In colder climates, 'Lollipop' Verbena may not be fully hardy. Consider mulching around the base of the plant in late fall to protect the roots from freezing temperatures. Alternatively, grow it as an annual or overwinter potted specimens indoors.
