Description

This rapidly growing perennial groundcover has rough, dark green leaves and vivid purple flowers in spring and summer. When it starts to look ragged, cut it back to the ground. This will encourage greener new growth. It will even bloom during some winters.This hardy Verbena can grow 2' tall and 4' wide. It is long lived. It attracts bees, butterflies, and birds. It is considered drought tolerant and prefers full sun.
