Slender Vervain
A lovely plant for mild areas, Verbena rigida is a bushy, clump-forming, deciduous, tuberous perennial with a neat, low habit and oblong, mid-green leaves. From June to September, clusters of bright purple, typical vervain flowers rise above the foliage, giving a jewel-like effect, particularly lovely with silvery or grey foliage plants. Not for cold areas, but may survive winter in very mild, coastal areas with a deep dry mulch; alternatively, grow it as an annual. Slender vervain holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
