Verbena bonariensis
A tall, airy perennial with slender, branching stems topped by clusters of soft violet-purple flowers that appear to float above the border from early summer through to autumn. It brings height without heaviness, allowing light to pass through while adding rhythm and structure to planting.
Verbena bonariensis is a defining plant in naturalistic schemes. It threads effortlessly through other perennials and grasses, lifting planting combinations and creating that loose, meadow-like feel seen throughout Mothecombe Gardens.
It thrives in full sun and free-draining soil, and once established is remarkably drought tolerant. Despite its delicate appearance, it is a tough and reliable garden performer, often gently self-seeding to create a more relaxed, evolving planting over time.
From a wildlife perspective, this is one of the most valuable plants you can grow. The nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinators across the entire season.
