Started them indoors...I took some hints from a site. I put seeds in water and planted the ones that fell to the bottom of the glass, covered with saran wrap and in 5 days I had little sprouts! Pictures: 6/2/16, 6/9/16.
UPDATE: I am struggling to grow this...the middle plants shriveled up.

Luckily, they are in pots so I bring them in. These have been the hardest plants to grow but I think its too humid and they aren't happy in Zone 10B. I'll keep the groups I have left indoors I guess (maybe a little sun if I am outside).

Product Description
Verbena Looks Great In...
Hanging baskets, containers, or spilling over the edges of a window box!
Verbena (Verbena Hybrids Nana Compacta Mix)
This Verbena variety is an aggressive growing ground cover plant that starts blooming in early spring. It will bloom all summer long, clear up until frost season begins. This attractive plant has flower clusters up to 3 inches wide.
Verbena flowers will typically grow as a perennial ground cover when grown in USDA Zones 8 - 10, where no frost or very light frost occurs. In colder zones where heavy frost or prolonged snowfall is normal, plan on your Verbena plants just being an annual.
Verbena plants like full sun, moderate water, and good drainage. Without good drainage they are prone to mildew. Verbena care includes trimming the plants back 1 - 2 times per season to keep them looking tidy and stimulate new blooms. You only need to fertilize Verbena ground cover plants once a year and this is usually done in the spring. Use a complete, balanced fertilizer that is not too high in nitrogen.

How to Grow
Soak Verbena seeds in tepid water 24 hours prior to sowing. Sow the seeds in starter trays, using a sterilized peaty mix.
Press Verbena seeds into the soil and lightly cover with peat moss. Verbena ground cover seeds need darkness for germination. Cover the starter tray with newspaper or black plastic with air holes cut into it and keep out of direct sun.
Transplant Verbena seedlings into the garden 12 - 18 inches apart.
Sowing Rate: 2 - 3 seeds per plant or 1,000 seeds per 20 square feet.

Decent germination
I started these seeds indoors after stratifying in the fridge for a month, and had a decent germination rate. I ended up putting half of the seeds outdoors to see if the germination rate will be better in the spring naturally rather than under grow lights and with heat mats - time will tell. So far the indoor seedlings are doing well and I'm hoping they survive the next few months before I can transplant them outside.

UPDATE: I am struggling to grow this...the middle plants shriveled up. From what I read they want 8-10 hours of sun (which is really easy since I'm in South Florida!) but when I put them outside it always rains and they drown and I fight to get them back to life. Luckily, they are in pots so I bring them in. These have been the hardest plants to grow but I think its too humid and they aren't happy in Zone 10B. I'll keep the groups I have left indoors I guess (maybe a little sun if I am outside).
***Giving 5 stars since they sprouted so quickly, not Outsideprides fault they don't like my location.

I'm really happy to see they were easy to germinate in 2 weeks. I'll come back to update with mature plants in late spring.
