Verbena (Verbena Bonariensis)

Commonly called Purpletop Vervain, this is one of the best flowering perennials for attracting butterflies, and in particular the Tiger Swallowtail. Easily grown from Verbena seeds, this is a long-blooming, drought-tolerant plant that is extremely easy to grow.

The rosy-violet flowers are tiny and extremely profuse. The flower clusters are held on long strong stems. This variety has been called Verbena on a stick! It is also referred to as Brazilian Verbena and Upright Verbena.
