If there are gaps in the flower box for a variety of reasons, verbena is a great filler.
Fill gaps with verbena
Every now and then it happens that one or the other summer flower in the flower box no longer likes you and the flower ceases or dies due to illness. Then there are gaps that you will find difficult to fill in the months of July or August because there are not too many plants left to grow vigorously and bloom profusely for the few weeks of summer.
Vervain is undemanding
One of these plants, which is also often used as a filler, is verbena. It grows very bushy, sometimes overhanging the edge of the flower pot and delights with beautiful flowers. In order for the verbena to last until the end of September or even the beginning of October, you should fertilize it every two weeks and water it only moderately. Even a few days of drought doesn't usually do any harm. What verbena doesn't like is permanent wetness. Sun or shade - it grows wonderfully everywhere.
