Horticultural selection of Verbena lilacina, selected by Carol Bornstein and introduced by the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. This adaptable, mounding perennial is a selection from Cedros Island. It produces mounds of delicate green foliage and has dark purple blossoms with lavender streaks and the blossoms are lightly scented. Though this plant has more flowers in the spring, it does have blossoms throughout most of the year, which attracts butterflies all year.
This is a very attractive and versatile plant for any flower border, butterfly garden, or patio container. The butterflies will flock to your garden!
This small shrub grows best in loamy, medium-draining soil but will tolerate clay soil provided it isn't over-watered. To maintain a dense form, shear lightly in summer, and remove spent flowers. Prefers sun in coastal sites, part shade inland.
Thanks to Moosa Creek Nursery and the Theodore Payne Foundation for sharing information about this plant
