| Hi Flowergirl,If your porch is warm enough to keep other plants,like geraniums,for instance,you should be able to keep verbenas.I have a greenhouse & I used to bring in the Tapien Purple Verbena but don't anymore due to their being bug magnets.If you aren't bothered by insects,go for it.Just 1 plant,even if it kind of limps along in the darker months can be a source of many plants come spring. Good luck, Rose |
