Growing on Verbena Bon

Morning all...my Verbena Bon seedlings are growing well, these were the self seeded ones from the garden and I would like to know if there is anything specific I need to do to grow them on so they are like the ones you buy from the garden centre in those big pots?

Cheers my dears...🙂

    No - just keep potting them on as they grow, and plant out when they're big enough for suiting your conditions  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thanks @Fairygirl I'm going to give them to my good neighbors as they have a few spaces to fill.

    I would pinch out the growing point now to make them branch a bit.  As soon as the roots fill those pots they are good to go in final positions in the ground.

    I would pinch the tops out and get them in the garden,  they grow well out in the garden soil,  they prove that by self seeding in any little nook and cranny.  The slugs don’t eat them and they’ll romp away once planted out.
