Brazilian Vervain
Verbena
Vervain
Our noteworthy offerings from this diverse genus feature captivating cool-colored summertime flowers, coarsely toothed hairy foliage and 4-angled stems. Easily grown in average garden soil, they will delight you with months of bloom and a lighthearted presence.
A celebrated perennial whose fans include both experienced gardeners and novices, plus florists and hummingbirds, this versatile South American native delivers outstanding flower-power. Rough, lance-shaped dark green basal foliage gives way to wiry and sparsely leafed angular-branching stems, which elevate a consortium of tiny lavender-violet blooms. With flowers borne in dense tufts atop its airy profile, Brazilian Vervain brings a colorful carefree look to cottage gardens or more wild venues, especially when sprinkled amid ornamental grasses.
