Verbena bonariensis
Botanical Name: Verbena bonariensis
Type: Hardy Perennial (often grown as an annual in colder climates)

Verbena bonariensis is a stunning architectural perennial prized for its tall, wiry stems topped with clusters of small, purple flowers. Light, airy, and elegant, it weaves beautifully through borders without overwhelming neighbouring plants. Loved by bees and butterflies, it blooms from mid-summer into autumn, adding vertical interest and gentle movement to any planting scheme. It’s particularly well-suited to wildlife gardens, prairie-style borders, and modern landscapes.
