Verbena bonariensis – Hardy Verbena – 2L Pot
Verbena bonariensis is a striking, long-flowering hardy perennial, prized for its tall, elegant stems topped with clusters of vibrant lavender-purple flowers. Blooming from early summer until the first frosts, it provides months of colour while attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators, making it an essential addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.
Reaching around 120–180 cm in height with a spread of 45–60 cm, this airy perennial creates a light, transparent effect that weaves effortlessly through borders without overwhelming neighbouring plants. Its upright habit makes it ideal for cottage gardens, prairie-style planting, mixed perennial borders and gravel gardens, where it adds height, movement and a naturalistic feel.
The delicate clusters of rich purple flowers are borne on slender, branching stems that sway gracefully in the breeze, creating a soft, floating display throughout the summer and autumn. The open habit allows it to combine beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, echinaceas and rudbeckias, adding colour and structure without blocking the view of other plants.
This hardy perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant, easy to grow and often self-seeds gently, creating attractive drifts of plants in suitable conditions. Leaving the seed heads in place over winter also provides architectural interest and a valuable food source for birds.
Flowering Period
June: Tall flowering stems emerge above the foliage with the first clusters of purple blooms.
June – October: Peak flowering with masses of nectar-rich lavender-purple flowers attracting bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
October – First Frosts: Continues flowering well into autumn, providing valuable late-season colour and wildlife interest.
With its exceptionally long flowering season, graceful habit and outstanding pollinator appeal, Verbena bonariensis is one of the finest hardy perennials for adding height, movement and natural beauty to sunny gardens.
Supplied as: One healthy, established Verbena bonariensis in a 2L nursery pot.
Please note that plants are living items and their size and appearance will vary throughout the year. Plants may be cut back, dormant, or not in flower at the time of di
spatch depending on the season.
