Growing Guide

When to Grow

Sow Vanity in spring and only lightly cover the seed; germination is slow, taking 14 to 28 days, so do not give up on it early. The plants are not frost hardy, and they grow in full sun at 60 to 86°F. Space them 15 inches apart. At about 90 days you get flowers, and the tidy 30-inch plants bloom from summer to late fall.

FAQ

Why is my Vanity verbena seed so slow to sprout?

That is normal for this one. Expect 14 to 28 days, and cover the seed only lightly rather than burying it.

Will Vanity come back the following year?

It is a perennial in Zones 7 to 10; elsewhere it is grown as an annual.

Is Vanity worth planting for pollinators?

Yes. It provides long season blooms that attract scads of pollinators, and the 30-inch plants are described as a perfect choice for the avid landscaper, cottage gardener, or pollinator enthusiast. The variety is a 2022 All Americas Select Ornamental Winner and a Fleuroselect Gold Medal Award winner.
