Verbena urticifolia, commonly known as White Vervain, is a perennial plant in the family Verbenaceae. It is native to North America and typically found in temperate climates. The plant has a growth habit that includes tall, slender stems with small white flowers. It is known for its ability to thrive in a variety of soil types and conditions.
White Vervain prefers moderate temperatures and indirect bright light. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity and should be watered when the soil partially dries out. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.
土壤
Verbena urticifolia prefers loamy soil that is well-draining. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged.
肥料
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is suitable for White Vervain. Fertilize the plant during the growing season to support its development.

修剪
Pruning is beneficial for White Vervain to remove dead or damaged stems and to encourage bushier growth. Prune in early spring before new growth begins.
