Are Verbenas self-fruitful or not?

If I grow one verbena in my flower garden, will it produce seed by itself (there are no verbenas anywere near!), or do I need to have two or more plants? If you know the answer, then please also tell me why or share your source of information. Thank you!

Are Verbenas self-fruitful or not?
verbena species such as Verbena bonarienses- Brazilian or Tall Verbena will produce seed by itself. however, most verbenas sold in garden centers are sterile hybrids Verbena X hybrida. those cultivars will not fruit
Reply:yes. hybrid cultivars are signified by having their name within '___' marks Report It

These two are really good sites to look for info on verbena


hope it will help
Reply:Verbenas are monoecious plants, meaning one plant has both male and female reproductive parts. This does allow for self-fertilization.





So yes, I would say verbenas will self-fruit.
