This plant is not currently available, however, propagation is planned/underway. Please sign up for the waitlist below to receive updates on availability.

Verbena is a large and variable genus ranging from tiny ground covers to towering beauties. All have clustered flowers that attract hordes of pollinators.

Slender vervain is a perfect evergreen ground cover for warm zones. Pale lilac blooms smother this sweet, but tough plant from early summer through frost. Thrives in poor, hot, dry soil in full sun.
