Hi to all 
 
  For those of you growing the perennial Verbena I know enough about it 
  to say that it loves lime in the soil. I have some Verbena canadensis 
  I brought in from the wild and it grows profusely in the soil I have 
  prepared for it. I use limestone chat and grit to mix into my flower 
  pots and beds. There are some acid loving plants that aren't going to 
  like this mix so they have to have their own bed. Verbena is one of the 
  first Spring flowers to bloom and I can't think of a prettier sight than 
  a bed of Verbena and Phlox divaricata while in full bloom. 
 
                Best wishes to all,  Bill M.
