Verbena bonariensis
Height x Spread: 120cm x 60cm
Commonly known as Argentinian Vervain, Verbena bonariensis has a columnar habit. This native to South America is a tall perennial with branching stems that bear clusters of tiny violet flowers during summer.
This is a plant which likes to self seed freely, butterflies and bees go mad for this tender perennial, making it a fantastic choice for wildlife gardens. Verbena loves a position in full sun and a well-drained soil; gravel gardens, sunny wall-side flower beds and borders are all ideal.
