    Hi,
    I have a few of these plants in pots that I've grown from seed this year.
    My question is should I plant them into garden now or is too late?
    Or should I overwinter them in pots in the greenhouse?
    Thanks

    It is Verbena bonariensis. You could plant them into the garden now or keep them in the greenhouse. Why not do both? Plant some out but keep some in case we have a really really cold winter. That is what I would do. They do best in well drained soil in a sunny place; a super plant and one of my favourites which flowers for months and months.

    Thanks Redwing, that's a good suggestion and I'll plant a couple tomorrow.
    I too love this plant and have one that grew back this year so know it's a 50/50 thing.
