They will not tolerate overcrowding with poor air circulation, shade or soil that stays overly moist. Most problems of verbenas occur in improper growing conditions.Newly planted verbenas will need to be kept moist for the first few weeks until the roots have spread into the surrounding soil.

Poor air circulation from over crowded conditions can also lead to disease problems.

Prone to black and green aphids.
Dislikes wet feet.

Benefit from deadheading. Infact the plant can be sheared off fully and it will spring back with fresh growth.
