Should Verbena Bonariensis be "nipped out"?

I have masses of verbena bonarienses seedlings and was wondering if they should be "nipped out" (if that is the correct term) to promote bushier growth. Can you help?

I'm inclined to say no, the stems will be longer without the side branches.
That's if you want the extra height. Just put in lots of plants. ;-)

Many thanks for this. Oh, I now rememeber that the term is "pinching out" - sorry, brain fog.
