Verbena is a large genus of flowering plants, commonly found in cottage gardens. They're popular for their bright color palette of pinks and purples, and they're magnets for pollinators. Verbena also has a long flowering period, from spring to fall.
If you're keen to grow verbena, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed by the large choice of varieties. For example, varieties like V. bonariensis offer flat clusters of blooms, while V. hastata rather has flower spikes offering some architectural structure. No matter the gap you're looking to fill in your yard, there's a verbena variety for every space – even containers.
