Verbena bonariensis
Perfect in poor soils!
A species Verbena, this tender perennial offers months of garden color both from the big blooms and from the finely-cut dark green foliage. Good tolerance of heat and drought means even longer, more perfect bloom. And when it finds a place it likes, it self-sows freely!
Grown as an annual north of its hardiness range, V. bonariensis is a staple of the cottage garden, cutting garden, and meadow. It tolerates poor soils beautifully, asking only for good drainage and plenty of sunshine. Perennial in zones 7-10. Packet is 100 seeds.
