Verbena bonariensis

Verbena bonariensis

Vervain

Tall Verbena or Brazilian Vervain is not a hardy perennial for the Mid Atlantic area, but this beautiful annual self-seeds vigorously in perennial beds.  The clumps of tiny purple flowers are held on tall thin stems and make a lovely airy show from July through September.  Butterflies love the late season flowers and they make a pretty addition to cut flowers because of the long clean stems.  We enjoy this tough reappearing annual in our gardens year after year.
