| I bought two trailing verbenas this year, planted one in the ground and one in a cedar box, about 4 inches deep. the one in the box never blooms. The buds seem to dry up and turn brown. The other one is beautiful. Could there be something in the cedar the plant doesnt like? |

| Let it get more dry between watering. Verbena doesn't like to be wet all the time. |
