Like it, it thrives in full sun and is highly resistant to salt spray and heavy trampling (it can even withstand moderate vehicle traffic!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, compared to its “cousin” Lippia nodiflora, Verbena hybrida offers two important advantages:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVerbena hybrida does not attract bees, so you can enjoy a flowering lawn that is safe to walk on barefoot or for young children and dogs to run around freely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVerbena hybrida is an \u003cstrong\u003eevergreen groundcover\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring an attractive lawn in every season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of suitable combinations, Verbena hybrida pairs very well with the previously mentioned Lippia nodiflora, as well as Achillea crithmifolia and Frankenia laevis. Remember that a varied lawn tends to be more resilient and adaptable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best time to plant Verbena hybrida is early autumn. This allows you to make the most of the water provided by the approaching rainy season, although spring planting is also suitable for encouraging harmonious growth. If you plant the lawn in spring, you will need to allow for a few extra waterings during the first summer to support the plants as they establish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following our recommended planting density (10 plants per square metre), the Verbena hybrida lawn will form a uniform cover within 8–12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring establishment, the lawn will need to be watered infrequently but with generous amounts of water. You should assess the \u003cstrong\u003eirrigation requirements of Verbena hybrida\u003c\/strong\u003e during this initial phase, ensuring that the soil is completely dry at a depth of 8–10 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the lawn has been established for one year, watering can be limited to just one (or at most two) time throughout the year. As for the \u003cstrong\u003emaintenance of Verbena hybrida\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend mowing 2 to 6 times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVERBENA HYBRIDA SALES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerbena hybrida is sold in trays of 60 cells. For optimal coverage, we recommend a density of 10 plants per square metre, so each tray is designed to cover 6 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can achieve the area you need by combining 6 m² trays and half trays of 3 m² (30 plants).
