Yes, it is possible. Moreover, verbena comes from warm countries. And on the territory of Russia, vervain is most often grown as an annual plant. And therefore, it is best to grow it from seeds for seedlings.

Verbena seeds for seedlings are sown in prepared boxes or cups in late February - early March. In order for this flower to gain a lot of strength for healthy growth and beautiful flowering, the earth must be light and fertilized enough. Verbena seeds should not be sown in cold ground. If you are using garden soil for seedlings, leave it at room temperature to warm it up. You can spill it with hot water, at the same time disinfecting it a little. Verbena seeds are sown superficially, without deepening. It is best to sprinkle the seeds with river sand, also pre-heated. Caring for verbena seedlings is quite simple, but requires some care and attention. Verbena seedlings can easily get sick, and therefore they should not be watered too abundantly, avoiding stagnant water. You can water the seedlings by spraying.

Verbena seedlings are planted in a permanent place in May, choosing a sufficiently warm and bright place. As a plant, vervain is quite climbing, it needs a place, and therefore it is necessary to plant vervain at a distance of at least 25 centimeters from one plant to another. It is not recommended to feed an adult plant too much, otherwise it will form greenery in abundance, forgetting that it must bloom.

Good luck!
