Verbena bonariensis surviving the frost

Hi guys, this is my first time posting, unsure if I’m posting in the right category. Sadly my verbena died after 4 years in the garden, I’ve just noticed new growth starting to pop up (x4) (self seeded) Will these baby plants make it throughout the winter months or do I dig them up, take inside and plant into pots until the frost has passed?‍♀️

 

I would protect them over winter, either pot them up and place in a sheltered spot or greenhouse, or cover them with something.

 

It depends where you are in the country and the winter you get, down here I've had them survive for two to three years, mainly though I have seeds germinating in earlier summer and then flowering later in the summer. This year was a bit messed up as it was too dry for much to happen when it was warm enough.

 

Hi Vanessa and



I can't say that I've had any issues myself, they self seed everywhere here too and at the moment I'm just digging up the ones in inappropriate places and replanting where I want them. They tend to die back and pop up again next year.

 

Aw thank you so much for replying everyone I’m in a very windy spot in North Wales

 

Thank you for your reply What do you suggest I cover them with? I’m new to gardening.

I'd use a cloche or a plastic bottle cut in half.
I believe they are half-hardy but I've never been able to overwinter them, I think it's too wet here and they just rot away.
