Elegant, airy verbena - Verbena bonariensis
Verbena bonariensis, also known as Argentine verbena, is an airy, upright-growing perennial that adds a playful lightness to the garden with its delicate, violet-purple flowers and filigree stems. Flowering from summer to fall, it attracts numerous bees, butterflies and other pollinators, thus helping to promote biodiversity.
This verbena is easy to care for and hardy to a certain extent. It prefers sunny locations with well-drained, rather dry soil. In mild regions it survives the winter well, in colder areas it can survive by self-seeding. Due to its tall, delicate growth habit, it is ideal as a background plant in herbaceous borders or as a loose structural plant in near-natural gardens. Pruning in late fall or early spring helps to keep the plant compact and vital.
