Verbena Hoary Vervain Seed
Verbena stricta
Item #1815
Perennial in USDA zones 3-9. Related to the popular garden Verbena stricta
verbenas, this Great Plains native
is very hardy, and tolerant of a
wide range of adverse conditions
including drought. Tall spikes of
velvety purple flowers add color
over a long season in summer
until fall. Flowers attract colorful
butterflies and beneficial insects
for natural pest control in the
garden. Easy to grow, plants often
self-seed and naturalize to form
striking groups.
Deer resistant.
