Verbena stricta

$4.00

Hoary Vervain is a rugged prairie plant with a soft, silvery touch — a perfect blend of strength and elegance. From early to mid-summer, this plant sends up tall, wand-like spikes covered in vivid lavender to blue-purple flowers that bloom from the base upward. The bloom period is long and showy, attracting butterflies, native bees, and hummingbirds with its steady nectar supply.
