Things to Consider Before Planting Four-nerve Daisy:

1. Size: 6-18 inches tall by 3-6 feet wide.

2. Toxicity: Non-toxic

3. Location: Plant in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight and has well-drained soil. Moss verbena looks great in containers and hanging baskets. Plant along bed borders as this is a low-growing plant.

4. Invasiveness: Non-invasive

5. Heat Tolerance: High

6. Planting time: Early spring and fall for warmer climates.

Special Notes: Minimal care is needed; occasional deadheading encourages more blooms.
