Verbena macdougalii ‘Lavender Spires’ is an easy-to-grow, resilient perennial for a sunny spot, highly attractive to bees, butterflies, moths, and other pollinators thanks to its nectar-rich flowers.
Tall, slender stems carry rough-textured narrow leaves and branching heads of purple flowers from July to September — ideal for the middle or back of a border. It thrives in moist but well-drained soil in full sun, becoming drought-tolerant once established, and is hardy to around -15°C. If left uncut, the attractive seedheads provide a valuable food source for birds later in the year.
Well suited to coastal, cottage, prairie, and gravel gardens.
