Description
Blue verbena is an elegant long-blooming warm-season perennial often grown as an annual, admired for abundant clusters of delicate rich blue tiny blossoms. Countless small tubular flowers assemble into flat-topped bloom umbels that perch atop slender upright branching stems, forming airy, sprawling mounds of cool blue color. The soft saturated blue shade offers a rare tranquil tone for sunny gardens, contrasting beautifully against surrounding green foliage and warm-toned blooms such as zinnias and marigolds. Its extended flowering cycle kicks off in early summer and persists steadily through fall, bringing consistent cool-hued charm even amid hot summer temperatures.
This blue verbena brings delicate texture and cool color to diverse garden layouts. It performs wonderfully in border plantings, rock gardens, cascading container displays and pollinator gardens. The shallow open flower structure delivers easily accessible nectar, strongly attracting butterflies, native bees and hoverflies. Once established, it demonstrates solid drought resistance. With occasional trimming of tired stems, plants keep generating new flower clusters, delivering months of continuous blue floral beauty with minimal watering and maintenance.
