1 qt. | 1 ppp | 6–7 weeks 1.25 qt. | 1 ppp | 8–9 weeks 2.5 qt. | 1 ppp | 9–10 weeks 3 qt. | 2–3 ppp | 9–10 weeks

1.5 gal. HB | 3–4 ppp | 10–11 weeks 2 gal. HB | 4–5 ppp | 10–11 weeks

Tech Tips: Transplant liners on time since they can get quickly overgrown and root into other cells when left in plug trays for too long. A Bonzi ® drench applied about 4 weeks before finishing is key to producing compact, mounded baskets and containers. Scout regularly for insects, especially Thrips (which can transmit Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus—TSWV). Don’t let Verbenas get extremely dry since this can cause leaf chlorosis, leaf necrosis, and loss (shattering) of flowers. Verbenas can be grown on the cool side to help control growth.
