When is the blooming period of Glandularia tenuisecta (fine-leaf verbena)?

1. Blooming period

The blooming period of this flower is from April to October, during which it can remain in bloom for a long time. With proper care, it can even extend to November. Its flower colors come in many varieties, and different plants have different colors, but all are very vibrant. Its small flowers bloom quite densely, which is one of the reasons why major landscaping areas, courtyards and flowerbeds like to plant it.

2. Regulating the blooming period

In fact, the blooming period of this plant can also be regulated, and the method is very simple. During its growth period, pinching can be done multiple times to encourage more side branches to grow, making the plant shape denser, and at the same time it can also control the blooming period. If you want it to bloom during the National Day period, you can pinch it between September 5 and 8; if you want it to bloom in early July or at the end of June, you can pinch it between June 6 and 9, and around early July it will then welcome its peak blooming period.

Of course, this also depends on the variety, and because the environment varies from place to place, the timing of pinching will be earlier or later as well. Friends should do this according to their own actual environment. For example, in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, the time needed from pinching to flowering for several varieties is as follows: the white variety needs 23 days to bloom; the pink variety needs 24 days to bloom; the rose-red variety needs 21 days to bloom, the scarlet variety needs 22 days to bloom, and the purple variety needs 23 days to bloom.
